RUDY Giuliani has insisted that "you can overdo" face masks as he remains hospitalized with coronavirus and awaits his release after taking the drug Remdesivir.

Donald Trump's personal lawyer called into his own radio show from the hospital on Tuesday to update listeners on his current bill of health.

"Pretty much all the symptoms are gone now," the attorney said, saying that he's "doing fine" and is taking the drug Remdesivir, the same experimental drug Trump took during his own battle with Covid in October.

Giuliani revealed that he'll be released from George Washington University hospital on Wednesday in Washington DC, three days after he tested positive for the virus.

But the lawyer eschewed mask-wearing even as he lay in his hospital bed recovering from the virus, saying he still doesn't believe in mandates to enforce wearing them.

“I think you can overdo the masks, you can overdo almost anything,” he said.

He continued: "Everything done in moderation makes much more sense. And what we’re doing to American business right now is disgraceful, and it’s not based on science.”

Giuliani also revealed that the White House doctor told him to seek treatment at Georgetown University Medical Center and get the same cocktail of remdesivir and dexamethasone like Trump did.

"I didn’t wanna really go to the hospital, and he said, ‘Don’t be stupid. We can get it over with in three days," he said on air, noting that "The minute I took the cocktail yesterday I felt 100 percent better."

On Monday, Trump said the former New York City mayor is "doing very well" and has "no temperature", calling him "a champion."

Giuliani thanked his followers for their "prayers and kind wishes" that same day and revealed he was "getting great care" and "feeling good."

Yep-it’s not a certain death sentence. It wasn’t fun to go through, but I have felt worse with other Illnesses, but I would have loved to treat Covid (all my vitamins, tinctures and various home remedies let me down) as I’m still not back to normal after 4 weeks.

Just wait until he finds out he can't taste anything.

Or not.

I never lost my sense of taste, never ran a fever, just thought I was having a slightly worse then normal asthma bout.

Didn't know I had it until they recently tested me and told me I had.

I have taken Vitamins C & D daily for years. Only added zinc shortly before I got sick. Oddly, the symptoms of a zinc deficiency are loss of taste and smell. I wonder if this disease somehow depletes your body of zinc? I, along with friends who also had Covid and take zinc, have gotten our taste and smell back in about two weeks. A friend who won’t take it hasn’t recovered taste or smell in over a month.

My mom is at almost 4 weeks and she says the loss of taste is the worst part

My Brother-in-Law went down in early July. The illness lasted about two weeks. He is still dealing with a lack of stamina, but otherwise seems OK.

He described his illness as "like a very bad case of the Flu". It was confirmed by lab tests as COVID-19.

His wife never got any symptoms at all. I hear variations of this story from a number of people.

Right-my husband had no symptoms. I waited a long time to go in, about 5 days after pneumonia symptoms started. Honestly, the no taste or smell was almost as hard as the breathing difficulty. I had no idea how much pleasure I get from food and drink 😂.
