Whoopi Goldberg hopes to rejoin The View panel on Monday.
The 66-year-old actress and television personality gave a health update on the show Wednesday after testing positive for COVID-19.
Goldberg appeared on The View remotely while quarantining at home. She confirmed she is vaccinated and boosted, and said her positive test came as “a shock.”
“That’s the thing about the Omicron [variant], you just don’t know where it is … who’s got it, who’s passing it,” Goldberg said. “It’s one of those things where you think, ‘I’ve done everything I was supposed to’ — that’s the problem with Omicron.”

Goldberg, who battled pneumonia in 2019, voiced her gratitude that her symptoms have been mild.
“It could have been much, much, much, much worse, I’m sure, and it wasn’t. I’m really lucky and I’m really glad that everyone is now testing negative,” she said of her family.
Goldberg’s View co-host Joy Behar had announced on the show Monday that Goldberg tested positive for COVID-19.
On Tuesday, Behar said their co-host Sara Haines was absent from the show due to her own COVID-19 exposure. She added that Haines “feels fine” but was “laying low.”
Behar, co-host Sunny Hostin and guest co-host Ana Navarro are filming from home this week as a precaution.

‘I’ve Done Everything I’m Supposed To Do’, said the fly to the spider,,,said the Jew to the Nazi national SOCIALIST government leader,,,said the Afghan interpreter to the Biden lead military.
Hello seculars, when you threw out the 10 commandments our founded government was based upon that protected even your own unbelieving persons, and forgot to honor your father and mother as they socially bribed dad to leave the home for social government payments to broken family single moms, ignored the command “Thou shalt not kill, only to unleash unspeakable murder upon our fellow men in secular socialist Democrat party run cities populated now by adulterous spouse cheating crime family destroyers whose politicians similarly cheat THE PEOPLE out of their hard earned wages, and bear false witnesses against Presidents in impeachments to steal the Constitutional executive powers they cannot honestly earn in honest elections. Socialist redistribution of American wealth and personal property is nothing more than coveting your neighbor’s house, his wife, his menservants, his maid servants, his ox, his “A double S” that morons like Whoopie got popping sounding cushions named after, not to mention anything that IS they neighbors. Guess what? YOU are that neighbor and YOU voted your own neighborhood into a hood of COVID incompetence.
YET she still can’t bring herself to wonder “WHAT USE is getting the shots, IF YOU STILL CAN Get sick!”
Welcome to Reality, Miss Liberal.
“That’s the thing about the Omicron [variant], you just don’t know where it is … who’s got it, who’s passing it,” Goldberg said. “It’s one of those things where you think, ‘I’ve done everything I was supposed to’ — that’s the problem with Omicron.” I know, those viruses really need to be more up-front and sensitive.
Even though you are an obnoxious Lib, I don’t wish sickness upon anyone, so I hope you will have a full and speedy recovery.
You are way too nice Son. I hope she has a long, painful demise.
Normally i am like SOT, in not wishing ill on anyone.
BUT THESE DAYS< I WISH ALL THE ILL possible, for everyone of these rabid libtards.
I agree SOT, I don’t wish sickness on anyone either.
“Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” – Romans 12:19 ESV
That said, I do wish them to wake up, not WOKE but awake, with an ability to see things clearly and interpret them accurately. I am glad that some liberals are beginning to realize that no matter how hard they try to follow Fauci and Biden, doing everything they are told no matter how often it changes, the edicts of Fauci and Biden will not protect them.
I understand how you feel and I tolerate your feelings. Now tolerate MINE. I hope she dies choking and drowning in her own blood…but hey, that’s just me..
May the dark shadowy figures that came out of the woodwork in her movie “Ghost” to take out the nemisis of the movie,,,take her to where she is destined to end up anyway.
She throughly disgusts me to the point that when she comes across my tv I turn it off but not before making sure whatever she endorses I never purchase or use even if I kills me. She may be a little sick now but when God pours his wrath out on her and her kind, well let’s just say “ they ain’t seen nothin yet”!
Why oh why couldn’t it have happened to Joy also. Her and Whoopie are the most egotistical, bigoted, racist people on TV today. A Severe Deadly case would make a lot of people happy, maybe even a holiday announcement and a Parade celebrating would be in order
WHY couldn’t it happen to everyone over on MSNBC!
Whoopi is so FAT that she’s swollen up like a poisoned Water Buffalo!
She misunderstood Fauci when she thought he said she should double mask on her face ,what he really said was that she was a double bagger to be placed entirely over her head, espacially when on a blind date.
I am not vaxxxed and not dependent on the government to ‘save me’ from COVID, but I hope I am ‘never’ infected by a bad case of Whoppie…
Is that when your nose starts to grow like Pinocchio’s whose ears once grew like a donkey, your eyes pop out of your head like an over pressurized inflatable doll and your head spins 360 degrees about your body as your hair starts to curl like Medusa whose appearance can ultimately turn any warm-blooded American white man into stone?
What are the symptoms of being infected by woopie?
You get a cushion named after you.

Whoopi. Just because you test positive for the “dreaded” COVID virus doesn’t mean you are sick (in a physical sense; a mental sense is a whole different issue). You have a lot of “pathogenic organisms” (do you know what that means) in your body and you are otherwise healthy. It’s all part of BIO 101. Go back to school.
Step back and look at the big picture. Ever wonder why — from the very beginning of the COVID-19 “pandemic” to the present — so many politicians, high-level government employees, and news celebrities do not follow the mask, social distancing, travel, and other pandemic rules they create for the rest of us? Because they know there is no real danger.
Being afraid of “COVID-19” or the endless “variants” is like being afraid of monsters under the bed. You cannot get sick from something that does not exist.
I suggest that the coronavirus “pandemic” is a fraud — an invisible, all-purpose enemy to which the government can attribute any danger it wants to frighten and control us. It is an excuse for an enormous expansion of government power and an enormous redistribution of resources — literally, trillions of dollars — from the citizens to the corporate elite.
None of it is real — everything the government and the corporate media tell us about the coronavirus “pandemic” is a lie. COVID-19 — if it exists at all — is at worst the equivalent of a mild flu.
The masks, the “social distancing”, the “social bubbles”, the “self-isolation”, the “self-quarantining”, the “contact tracing”, the “flattening the curve”, the “alone together”, the “don’t share the air”, the shutdowns, the lockdowns, the pointless testing, the staged frenzy to “develop” a vaccine, the bans on assemblies and large groups, the restrictions on churches and prayer groups, the restrictions on travel — none of that is to keep us safe, but all of it is to condition us to accept more government control, more arbitrary regimentation, more transfers of taxpayer money to the corporate elite, and mandatory vaccination, and to destroy small businesses and the independent businessmen who own them.
If there had never been a declared “pandemic”, never any mention of COVID-19, never any lockdowns, shutdowns, social distancing, etc., the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 flu seasons would have passed by uneventfully — and not even been noted as particularly bad ones.
Hey, Goldbrick! Everybody knows that being a big fat slob is a preexisting condition and one that will complicate the hoax virus. Maybe you’ll lose some flab afterwards.
