Giuliani released from hospital after getting treatment for coronavirus

Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday was released from the hospital after undergoing treatment for the coronavirus.

Giuliani, who is leading President Trump’s bid to overturn the results of the 2020 election, was admitted to Georgetown University Hospital on Sunday after testing positive for the virus.

“My treatment by the nurses and staff at Georgetown Med Star Hospital was miraculous,” Giuliani tweeted Thursday. “I walked in with serious symptoms. I walked out better than ever.”

Giuliani, 76, was considered at high risk for serious complications from the virus due to his age. 

Giuliani said in a radio interview on Wednesday that he had received some of the same treatments as Trump did after he tested positive in October, though he did not specify what medications.

The president was given the Regeneron antibody therapy when he tested positive and he repeatedly credited the drug with rapidly improving his condition despite spending three days at the hospital. 

The therapy is not widely available to the general public, but the former New York City mayor is the latest Trump ally to benefit from his close relationship with the president during his bout with the virus.

Giuliani, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson all received antibody treatments.

“If it wasn’t me, I wouldn’t have been put in a hospital frankly,” Giuliani said in an interview with ABC radio. “Sometimes when you’re a celebrity they’re worried if something happens to you. They’re going to examine it more carefully and do everything right.”

Giuliani tweeted that he expected to speak at a GOP event in Georgia on Thursday morning to present allegations of voter fraud that cost Trump the election. Giuliani has yet to present such evidence in court.
