Because my reaction to learning that Rudy Giuliani has Covid-19 was a hearty guffaw.

I know that the conventional wisdom is that no one deserves to catch Covid-19, but yes, dripping Rudy deserves to have caught the disease.

He’s been a walking and talking super-spreader, and any concerns I have are with those who he might have exposed, not him:

President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has tested positive for Covid-19 and is being treated in hospital.

The president wrote in a tweet: “Get better soon Rudy, we will carry on!”

Mr Giuliani, who has led the Trump campaign’s legal challenges to the election results, is the latest person close to the president to be infected.

The president and his team have been criticised for shunning safety guidance. Mr Trump was ill in October.

Mr Giuliani, 76, was admitted to the Medstar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington DC on Sunday, according to US media reports.

Ha ha.
