SAN FRANCISCO – One week in isolation. Two families. Only a few miles away, yet a world apart. For San Francisco lawyer Rebecca Biernat, a mother of three, "sheltering in place" started out in a panic, but her family is now adjusting.
She is working from home. Her kids are keeping busy with online school and regular video chats with teachers and friends. The family is finding silver linings in the slower pace of life and time together.
For hotel housekeeper Sonia Bautista, the world is spiraling out of control. She and her husband have lost their jobs, they can’t afford their rent and their teenage son is feeling both bored and overwhelmed by the lessons his school is posting online.
