Barbara Walters has acquired something pretty rare, and considering her age it makes me a bit nervous…but I’m sure she’ll be fine. However, she’s on mandated rest and allowed absolutely no visitors until this thing clears up. What could it be? Find out below!

At 83-years-old, Barbara JUST NOW acquired the chicken pox!

“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,” her co-host Whoopi Goldberg said this morning on The View. “We love you. We miss you. We just don’t want to hug you.”

Prayers for a speedy recovery!
