I’ve just seen, in breaking news on my NPR app, that Trump has tweeted that Rudy Giuliani has tested positive for “the China Virus” (Trump’s words, not mine). ---

Too bad about Giuliani getting the 'rona. It’ll presumably take him out of circulation for a while, and he’s been such a source of rich comedy, and so disastrous for Trump. Hope he gets back on the job ASAP, and continues his excellent work on ship-sinking! ---

According to several rando twitter sources, Rudy has been taken to the hospital. So, I guess that is what it is, to borrow a phrase, but he may not be coming back from shit. ---

I assumed he had it when he did that press conference and was sweating so profusely that his hair dye was running. I then assumed they/he decided not to announce it publicly, or maybe refused to take a test and carry on regardless. But they might feel obliged to announce it if he’s been taken to hospital. ---

The NY Times reported [he was at the Georgetown University Medical Center,](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/12/06/world/covid-19-coronavirus#rudy-giuliani-covid) based on an unattributed source. It is not clear if he was admitted or just there for tests. ---
