The Regan family of Southbury, Connecticut lives the epitome of a packed house during this quarantine period. Seven family members, each person has a different routine from sunrise rise to sunset. Due to the COVID-19 quarantine, they have come together to make for a household that is much different than what it would have looked like less than a year ago.
Across the pond are the Colliers of Swadlincote, East Midlands, England. Martin and Karen Collier have a quarantine schedule that looks very different than that of the Regan family. Having to adjust to working from home, Martin and Karen spend most days on the computer or traveling to job sites; yet in between find time to do things they may not have been able to do before quarantine.
Although it may not seem like the best situation to some, with each family restricted to its own homes, it is important to remember we are not stuck at home, but rather safe at home.
