Rudy Giuliani doesn’t get how coronavirus works. Fox News showcased his misinformation anyway.

    Thursday’s edition of Fox News’s Ingraham Angle featured egregious coronavirus misinformation, courtesy of President Donald Trump’s personal attorney.
    Rudy Giuliani and Laura Ingraham teamed up to mock the idea of contact tracing — a surveillance tool experts broadly agree is key to getting the US coronavirus outbreak under control. (Contact tracing involves the strategic deployment of testing so anybody who comes in contact with a coronavirus can be tested and, if necessary, quarantined, hopefully nipping outbreaks in the bud.) Giuliani, however, thought it useful to compare Covid-19 to other potentially deadly, but non-infectious, maladies like cancer or heart disease.

    After Ingraham brought up a $10.5 million contact tracing program Bloomberg Philanthropies and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) are working together on, Giuliani said, derisively, that “we should trace everybody for cancer, and heart disease, and obesity, and — I mean a lot of things kill you more than Covid-19, so we should be traced for all those things.”

    Wow. This is starting to get utterly ridiculous.

    Giuliani (Trump's Lawyer) is equating Non-Contagious Maladies with Contagious Disease.

    That might be one of the most ridiculous statements ever uttered.

    Good for Rudy, that it got buried in the news cycle on the same day that Trump brought up injecting disinfectant.

    What was Rudy thinking?

    And, why do Trump's "Defenders" constantly try to conflate things like deaths from smoking and auto accidents to deaths from contagious disease?
