She continued: "As a country we got a little lazy and I'm really mad that my kids didn't have to wear a mask to school. I'm pretty sure that's where this came from. I just really hope my husband and the other ones don't get it, because if someone has to be taken to the hospital, I can't go with them."

The actress is married to Mark Wilkerson 

She ended her message by saying: "I wanted to share this with all of you. I'm not posting this to be political or gain pity, I just want to share my journey. This isn't up for debate, it's just how I feel today on my page."
