Well, not much until today when it was revealed that the 83-year-old JUST got Chicken Pox!
Babs (who was already recovering from a head injury) was not on "The View" this morning ... so Whoopi broke the news.
"We want to give you an update on Barbara," Goldberg said ... "You all know that she fell and cut her head 10 days ago, and then was running a temperature, but it turns out it is all the result of a delayed childhood."
"Barbara has the chicken pox. She'd never had it as a child. So now she's been told to rest, she's not allowed any visitors. and we're telling you, Barbara, no scratching,
Whoopi added, "We love you. We miss you. We just don't want to hug you."
