The actress went on to list the people for whom she chooses to stay home amid the pandemic. 

“I am staying home (and ranting) for us ALL. For my fellow cancer warriors who fight hard everyday for more time. For my mom. For my family. For my husband,” she wrote.

“For my mother in law and father in law. For my friends. For my friends kids. For every single one of you.”
