Not much information is available regarding Giuliani’s condition as of yet, but according to CNN, he was admitted to Georgetown University Hospital over the weekend, and Giuliani himself has since tweeted that he is “getting great care.”

Thank you to all my friends and followers for all the prayers and kind wishes.

I’m getting great care and feeling good.

Recovering quickly and keeping up with everything.

Prior to that confirmation on Sunday, Trump broke the news to his followers, announcing that his personal lawyer “has tested positive for the China Virus.”

.@RudyGiuliani, by far the greatest mayor in the history of NYC, and who has been working tirelessly exposing the most corrupt election (by far!) in the history of the USA, has tested positive for the China Virus. Get better soon Rudy, we will carry on!!!

Giuliani has been hard at work ever since early November, trying to undermine democracy and get the results of the election thrown out to the benefit of Trump. He’s made headlines for a slew of embarrassing situations during that time, including the Four Seasons Total Landscaping fiasco and that press conference where hair dye was dripping disgustingly down his sweaty face.

Prior to that, he had been in the news for getting caught with his hand down his pants during a prank that was caught on camera as part of Borat 2.

In between those flashy, viral moments, Giuliani was seen repeatedly without wearing a mask, despite the fact that we are still in the middle of a pandemic. Both chambers of the Arizona state legislature have already shut down entirely in response to his positive test, as Giuliani recently testified maskless in one of his attempts to get Biden’s win overturned.

“Giuliani has not just exposed himself and caught covid, but he has potentially exposed hundreds and hundreds of Trump supporters to the virus. …his irresponsible actions have potentially put others at risk as well.” Dr. @meganranney pic.twitter.com/SehMCmxTWM

It’s for reasons like this that many lacked empathy for Giuliani after his diagnosis was confirmed.

and the millions more who are sick. Yet you would rather spend the time with baseless lawsuits. people are dying because of you and your boss. So please excuse me when I say I don’t really care that you got it. Because we all know you will get the finest health care

Not for nothing, but Rudy Giuliani’s only medical assistance should be Dr. Scott Atlas, that witch doctor lady, a bottle of Hydroxychloroquine, and some Clorox.

Karma is not to be trifled with, counselor.

It remains to be seen if any additional parts of state government have to shut down or quarantine due to potential exposure to Giuliani’s COVID, but he was also around lawmakers in both Michigan and Georgia recently.
