The View co-host Joy Behar is taking a “leave of absence” until further notice from ABC’s daytime chat show as a precautionary measure against the coronavirus, according to reports.

Variety reports that Behar, 77, announced her decision to quit the show until further notice during a pre-taped episode of The View that will be broadcast on Friday.

While neither she nor any of the show’s staff have tested positive for the coronavirus, Behar is said to be following the advice of her daughter to stay at home for the time being.

I’m in a higher risk group because of my age, but I’m perfectly healthy,” Behar said, according to Variety. “I don’t look my age, but I’m actually up there. The number makes me dizzy.”

Breitbart report: Behar is expected to be absent from the show all next week and will evaluate her situation after that.

The View tapes in New York, which declared a state of emergency earlier today in response to the spread of the coronavirus. The virus has infected 95 people in the city, but Mayor Bill de Blasio said he expects that number to skyrocket to 1,000 cases by next week.

Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Meghan McCain, and Sunny Hostin are expected to stay on the show next week, according to Variety.

Behar has been a reliably vocal antagonist of President Donald Trump, using her pulpit on the long-running daytime talk show to engage in her highly agitated brand of mockery.

Earlier today, Behar called on President Trump to resign over the coronavirus, making the perplexing claim that his Oval Office address on Wednesday shows that the president himself is in poor health.

“He does not inspire confidence. I could hear him breathing. Could you?” she said on Thursday’s episode. “Is there a microphone in his nostrils, do you think? It speaks of somebody who’s not in great health, and he’s been so exposed to a few people now who have had the coronavirus.”

  1. I just read an article somewhere about 12 hours ago that was saying that the latest ” secret” medical advice is that the virus lives on stuff like metal plastic for hours ,about 3 or 4 I think they said and that people can be infected for days and days without knowing so staying home wont save her The delivery boy could bring it to her door on any thing she buys or any visitors or family could tramp it into her house and scatter it all over her furniture. And I’m quite sure it can be blown around on the air too .The wind can be strong .And you know washing your hands is going to get it off your shoes or clothes or put of your hair or off your brief case or newspaper or bag of groceries filled with fruit and veg that dozens of hands have touched .Or packages or tins or bags etcetera

  2. Those on the Left/Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, the “Fake News” mediums, etc. knowingly/purposely lie, lob false allegations, offer up farfetched/contrived “speculation”, misdirect, & utilize the “fake news” to spread rumors for the express purpose of “gaslighting”, causing chaos, ginning up fear/anger, fanning the flames of dissent, & inciting violence. “Fake News” mediums like CNN, MSNBC, the NYT, BuzzFeed, National Review, The Washington Post, social media platforms like Twitter, Google, Facebook, etc., late night hosts like Bill Maher, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, & the liberal left in Hollywood then purposely, exponentially increase/amplify & telegraph the anger, hatred, & violence of the Left, Progressives, Democrats, & their base against others across the nation/world by to divide, destabilize, & damage the nation, the President, & our citizens. This explains why they are viewed as the Enemies of the American People.

    SHOCKED by the blow-back, they proclaim their innocence while we all know that they are nothing but instigators with their incendiary/despicable reporting. They, like we, all learned in grade school that those who report the news must stick to the facts, “who, what, why, where & when”. Instead, they speculate, manipulate, contrive, edit audio/video, omit, & when all else fails, they fall back on their so called “anonymous sources”.

    Lacking even the slightest modicum of ethics, honor, & integrity, they are best described as intellectual contortionists, they bend/twist reality to fit a narrative of their own creation based on their own personal biases or that of their Elite masters, the Marxist Progressives and Demogogue Democrats….
