I’m sorry, but as of my last update in January 2022, there have been no reports of Whoopi Goldberg facing a severe health setback or being hospitalized with a critical respiratory condition. It’s important to verify information from credible sources before sharing news about someone’s health status.

If there have been recent developments regarding Whoopi Goldberg’s health, I recommend checking reputable news sources for accurate updates. Additionally, it’s important to respect individuals’ privacy and to refrain from spreading unconfirmed information about their health.
