She shared a video of her daughter and husband as she was isolated and wrote, "tbh the start to this year has been quite interesting! We will share more about it in our vlog soon. It started off by me getting FLURONA (flu + covid) (yikes) so obviously, I was so bummed to miss passion but I was so thankful that God gave me the strength to still preach my message to an empty room despite being so sick. My faith from that experience grew so much. His spirit is truly living within us! also, thankful the conference is online! (sic)" 

The reality star further revealed that her home rats had infested her house and she and her family were staying somewhere else. She wrote, "Then as we were on our way home from ATL we got a call that we have a couple of rats invading our home and those little guys are doing some workkk. So we couldn’t go home. It’s day 4 of not being able to get them and being out of our house. It’s disgusting and we are exhausted from getting over sickness and being out of our home." 

Meanwhile, the United States on January 7th confirmed that the first cases of Flurona had been diagnosed in Los Angeles County, California, and in Texas. The patients were children who tested positive for both influenza and COVID.
