Whoopi Goldberg has shared a health update after being absent from “The View” for just over a month, revealing on Friday’s show that she’s “not dead,” but she actually came awfully close.

“I am OK. I’m not dead,” Goldberg said in a taped segment that rolled at the top of Friday’s episode. “Yes, I came very, very close to leaving the Earth. Good news, I didn’t. Thank you for all of your good wishes.”

Maybe it's time to retire. Spend time with the family. Smell the roses.

Anyone know what’s going on with pneumonia? In my life I never knew anyone who had it, up to last month. Now I know two people who had it bad. Neither know each other. Is there something we should know?

"Good news, I didn’t."

How can we miss you when you won't leave?

Neither of my friends who had pneumonia are over 55 or travel in the same circles.

“Pneumococcal pneumonia can be passed from person to person. You can catch it from a cough or close contact.
Many people think it’s a cold or the flu, but it’s not.

Unlike a cold or the flu, which are caused by viruses, pneumococcal pneumonia is caused by bacteria. Symptoms can be severe and hit you without warning. In fact, it can take weeks before you feel like yourself again—the fatigue can make it hard to get through the day.”

Can illegals be the cause?

"only a 5 year-old believes any of this"

If there is some other explanation I think it would be hugely interesting!

So it is for most of those who die from it. Not really something to joke about.

Its opportunistic. Until better medications came out for my asthma, I would get pneumonia almost once a year. One semester in college was completely destroyed by pneumonia. When I finally went to the ER the doctor was amazed I walked in under my own power.

I had it as a kid, and it was pretty bad. I think most put it into the category of ‘flu’, and then they wait until they get to a really weaken state to seek medical attention.

I had double pneumonia along with pleurisy about 18 years ago. I was in IC for a week. I guess it was touch and go but the pleurisy was so painful that I was on the morphine joy button and didn’t realize what was going on. They finally put a tube in my side and drained a bunch of liquid. I recovered fairly quickly after that. They sent me home with some Levaquin which came close to rupturing some tendons. It wasn’t a fun time.
