In California, nearly 9,000 people — working adults, senior citizens, parents, single people, families — have tested positive for coronavirus. One is a man in his 60s who contracted the virus while on a cruise in Japan. Another is a San Francisco woman was able to isolate herself for nine days before receiving a positive test result.

We’ll hear their experiences struggling with the illness and the health care system, and the experience of others who have contracted coronavirus.
