Rudy Giuliani, who is the personal lawyer for the outgoing president, has spent the past few weeks crisscrossing the country

to challenge the presidential results.

He has participated in many auditions, indoors and always without a mask. 

Wearing a mask, in fact, is crucial, recalled this Sunday the coordinator of the White House crisis unit.

Deborah Birx blames in particular the disinformation propagated by certain political leaders, starting with Donald Trump.

the worst happens with winter,
