On Tuesday, while being hospitalized with COVID-19, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani called for a radio show, criticizing the widespread use of masks and social remote controls to prevent future Facebook virus outbreaks. He said COVID-19 had killed 285,000 Americans but it was “curable.” On Sunday, Giuliani was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., after a positive test for COVID-19. Two days later, he called to renew his medical service for his own daily radio show on WABC-AM in New York. The show’s interviewer asked if the virus’s impact has changed his view of how it is handled by political leaders. “Things happen in life, you have to go with them,” Giuliani said. “You can exaggerate with them. Otherwise, the fear of disease will drive your whole life. So I never exaggerated this …. I would rather risk it than live in a basement for the rest of my life.” Giuliani then said that the state shutdown measures to prevent the eruption of COVID-19 were “destroying American small business in five or six or seven major cities” and that “I’m watching it on TV, which makes me angry more than anything.” He then referred to Mackin’s Public House, a bar on Staten Island, New York City, which reopened in defiance of strike restrictions – and Los Angeles County Superintendent Sheila Kuhel was able to be seen eating out within hours of a nationwide ban on outdoor dining. “They enforce these masked rules, and the rules are so absurd that they can’t live without it,” Giuliani said.

Everything done in moderation makes a lot of sense. What we’re doing to American business now is a disgrace. It’s not scientifically based. It’s a curable disease at this time … mortality rates are nothing like they were five or six months ago.” Although the national COVID-19 mortality rate has declined since its inception, the total number of deaths has been increasing. Dr. Barry J., a pulmonologist and critical care specialist at National Jewish Health, said the decline in mortality rates may be due to improved medical care or a decrease in the average age of those with COVID-19. Mac told the Healthline website. Giuliani is the 40th person in the Trump administration, campaign and family to be infected with COVID-19 in recent months. Despite appearing without a mask at several public hearings seeking to overturn the state election results in favor of Trump, Giuliani sought to assuage fears that he might have harmed many before testing himself positively. The former New York mayor told radio interviewers he had received a medical cocktail of Remdecivir and dexamethasone is treatable and feels “100 percent better”. When an interview indicated that not every hospital with COVID-19 could offer similar drugs, Giuliani noted that he was unaware of it. Newsweek contacted Giuliani for comment.
