Giuliani continues to insist that refusing to wear a mask is a wise move.

Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer and a former mayor of New York City, was admitted to a Washington, D.C., hospital on Sunday, after traveling across the country in his futile attempt to overturn the election results. Giuliani did not wear a mask during meetings last week in Arizona, Michigan, and Georgia, exposing lawmakers and others to the virus.

During an interview with New York radio station 77 WABC, the hosts asked Giuliani if his views on the virus have changed, now that he is sick and in the hospital. They mentioned former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), who contracted the virus after attending a super-spreader event at the White House; Christie later said it was “wrong” to be there without a mask.

“No,” Giuliani responded. “I have exactly the same view. You know, I’ve also been through cancer, a couple of other things — very serious, very serious, emergency knee operation. Things happen in life, and you have to go with them. You can’t overreact to them. Otherwise, you let the fear of illness drive your entire life.” Regarding face coverings, which provide protection to the wearer and those around them, Giuliani said he thinks “you can overdo the masks.”

In short, he doesn’t give a flying fuck about all the people he may have infected. Nice guy.

Giuliani revealed that he has received two of the same medications Trump took during his hospitalization for COVID-19: remdesivir and dexamethasone. One of the radio hosts told Giuliani the drugs are “not something that the normal American is going to be able to get, because it’s quite expensive.” Giuliani deflected, saying he “didn’t know that. I mean, they give it to us here at the hospital.”

Hello??? Hospitals are full? People who have COVID can’t get treatment because the hospitals are full? They’re told to stay home unless/until they’re having severe breathing difficulty, and they can’t always get in even then? We can’t just bounce up to the nearest hospital the instant we notice symptoms and get rushed into the Deluxe COVID Ward Just For Us? Because there isn’t one?

It’s not possible that Giuliani doesn’t know that. Not possible. For fuck’s sake New York was COVID central for weeks last spring, there were mass graves because cemeteries couldn’t handle all the dead.

He said his advice to people is “get early treatment,” falsely claiming that “the earlier you get treated for this, No. 1, you totally eliminate the chance of dying.”

WE CAN’T GET EARLY TREATMENT. He might as well advise people to give hospitals $1 billion to let us in early.
