than 984,000 cases in total. we could see a million by this week. >> and 24 hours after san francisco's mayor announced a 250% increase in cases since early october, we are getting an idea of what might be a key factor. tonight the abc 7 i-team reveals 11 bars have been forced to shut down for repeatedly violating the public health order. >> abc 7 news i-team reporter stephanie sierra is live tonight with more. steph, we understand some of these bars have since reopened and appear to be violating the same rules. >> reporter: yes, dan. all 11 have passed the health department's reinspection and were able to reopen. yet a mere week after, complaints of the same problems are happening again. it's a res mooe for rapid spread, and it's happening all over san francisco. big crowds, no masks, and no social distancing. more than 400 violations were cited to businesses across the

city since march. the hot spots include these 11 bars and nightclubs pegged by the health department for repeatedly violating the health order. all of them were forced to temporarily closed. here's why. >> not properly social distancing. gathering. and serving alcohol without a bona fide meal. they're turning it more into a bar. >> reporter: terrence hung is the lead food safety program inspector for the san francisco department of public health. >> i mean, if we get too complacent, we fall into a trap. >> reporter: a trap we're already in. the city's rate of transmission has more than doubled. 80 new covid cases reported each day, up from 32 in october. dr. grant colfax calling the viral spread aggressive. >> if we do not turn this around, our fall surge will exceed our summer surge. >> reporter: which is why we need to -- >> stay six feet from people outside your immediate household. wear a face mask. >> reporter: yet no masks and no distance seen among the crowds at el trouble sports bar and mr.

bing's last week. both previously closed for similar violations. each owner did not want to speak to us except angelo masso delirium cocktails. his bar shut down for irresponsible crowding, gathering and no regards to proper social distancing. >> neighborhood complaints of the area, just mean neighbors. >> reporter: yet he denies it. >> we're just going to get shut down again. >> reporter: starting friday at midnight all indoor operations will be on pause including restaurants and bars. dr. colfax did say he expects the state to move san francisco back a tier. it's just unclear how quickly that could happen. live in the newsroom, stephanie sierra, abc 7 news. >> all right, stephanie, thank you. now in the south bay researchers at stanford medicine have created a new framework to help guide schools, businesses and local governments with how to handle the covid-19 pandemic. as abc 7 news reporter chris nguyen tells us, this comes as

the country braces for yet another surge. >> reporter: in the midst of the coronavirus crisis stanford medicine is stepping up with a new tool to help communities and organizations bounce back from the covid-19 pandemic. >> credible information based on science is critically important as we try to do all sorts of things in our community to really deal with the virus but also to keep our communities going. >> reporter: stanford professor dr. robert harrington as part of an effort called recover, restore and reopen, or r-3 for short, which aims to advise various segments of society such as schools and businesses on getting back to healthy functioning. the framework is brought to life online through a series of prospective pieces from subject matter experts as well as links to relevant research. for example, it offers recommendations for protecting vulnerable populations and how to safely reopen schools. >> we have a public purpose and a responsibility to the broader good. >> reporter: jim egan, head of synapse school in menlo park, says he's learned valuable lessons through their

participation in a stanford study. in fact, the highly respected d through 8 school was one of the first in the bay area to reopen for in-person learning back in september. students and staff are tested for covid-19 on a weekly basis. >> we want to be changemakers and this is a wonderful example of that. >> reporter: the data so important in guiding policy, conducting research and developing treatments at a time when the virus is surging. >> as the weather gets colder and people naturally will want to spend more time indoors, that is very, very important that all of us do what we can to avoid spreading the infection. >> reporter: a resource for helping communities not only deal with the pandemic but also recover from it. >> be safe. really know what it is that keeps you safe. be smart. pay attention to credible information. and be kind. this is tough on all of us. let's support each other. >> reporter: in silicon valley, chris nguyen, abc 7 news. >> and keep track of where your county stands on abc7news.com. you can see which tier your

county is in and what that means for local businesses. on to some other news. the highway patrol is investigating a fatal accident involving a benicia police officer who hit and killed a pedestrian. authorities say the officer hit the man on east 2nd street near an off-ramp to i-780 about 2:00 this morning. the man believed to be in his 40s sadly died at the scene. the officer was not responding to a call for service at the time of the collision. circumstances still being investigated. benicia's interim chief calls the incident tragic and offers his deepest condolences to the victim's family. race and social justice is certainly one area that we focus on every single day as we work hard to build a better bay area. and tonight an east bay teenager's effort to educate people about black lives matter and what it's like to be on the receiving end of hate speech seems to have had an impact on a man who initially posted a threatening facebook message. abc 7 news reporter laura anthony spoke with both that man and the dublin high school

senior he targeted. >> one of my goals is to always educate people. >> reporter: on sunday afternoon 17-year-old danell mccann will host a sign garden for justice outside the dublin civic center. much like those he's recently held in other tri-valley cities. but the dublin high senior felt threatened after mike grant, the owner of a local gun business, posted on facebook with a picture of danell and a call to action for counterprotesters to please bring your vests and helmets in case these blm people start trouble. >> you know, i was very shaken because this was my first time ever gettinging? like this. >> reporter: the threatening post prompted danell's father to call grant directly. it seems that conversation and angry social media reaction to his post made an impression on grant. >> i never thought a 17-year-old boy could teach a 65-year-old man something. but he did. for the last 4 1/2 days i've lived it. just with phone calls and texts

and hate mail and stuff. now i think i understand why this young man is doing this to try to educate people. >> you know, he's gotten an opportunity to kind of walk in a black man's shoes. and he now understands kind of the threat that he placed on my son's back with just his words. >> reporter: mike grant told me now he would actually like to sit down and have a one-on-one conversation with danell. >> i'm more than willing to have a conversation with him about this and how we can move forward and how he can move forward to support the community. >> reporter: as for grant's initial call to action -- >> do not, i repeat, do not go and protest or go to that event to bring hate or to cause a problem. >> reporter: nonetheless, dublin police say they will be close by to make sure danell's event and any counterprotest remain

peaceful. in dublin laura anthony, abc 7 news. >> and a new county office intended to give people of color a stronger voice in their community is coming to the east bay. contra costa county supervisors on tuesday approved creating an office of racial equity and social justice. its main task will be to improve and expand the county's work on equity and inclusion. the office will also help guide county government policy and funding decisions. county officials say they'll develop the office over the next six months, relying strongly on community input. all right. coming up, the wife of a travis airman who says nevada's gop is calling her a potentially fraudulent voter. plus the warning about scams targeting veterans and service members and what to do about it. also here, two world war ii veterans return to the skies for a special veterans

your voice your vote. while the results of the race for president are in, many states are still finalizing the votes. delaware was the first state to give final approval with near 59% of votes going to joe biden. california's secretary of state has until december 11th to finalize ballots. currently not enough states have certified their votes for biden to reach the 270 threshold. and meanwhile, the trump campaign is holding on to unproven allegations of fraud in the 2020 election. in nevada that means looking at a change of address data base. reporter dan simon spoke to one military wife whose husband works at travis air force base and who is in that data base. >> reporter: when the election results first came in and the race grew tight in nevada, trump officials made wild accusations that thousands of people who had moved out of the state had fraudulently cast their votes, potentially swinging the race to biden. >> we are also confident that there are thousands of people

whose votes have been counted that have moved out of clark county in the -- during the pandemic. >> reporter: the alleged proof from nevada republicans? a change of address data base that publicly lists zip codes of where 3,000 or so voters currently and previously lived. for instance, vote cast record 337 shows a voter who previously lived in henderson, nevada but is now in dafls, california. by the gop's logic that person would be ineligible to vote. problem is this woman says she's that voter 337. >> when i first saw that we were on the list, frankly i was just very shocked. >> reporter: amy rose is a military spouse. her husband is active duty in the air force. stationed at travis air force base in california. but under federal and state laws they're still permanent nevada residents. making them eligible to vote there in the 2020 election. she says she easily found herself on the list. >> i just searched for where we live now, and i found our city and it matched our zip code, it

matched our 4 code, which is the 4 code indicates a very small like one-block or so radius. and that matched up with where we moved from in nevada. so put two and two together and realized it was myself and my husband. >> reporter: there appear to be hundreds of zip codes on that list that correlate to military bases. other people could be students away at college but still eligible to vote in nevada. the statement from the trump campaign reads in part, "we have referred a list of people who voted in nevada's election yet have moved out of the state to the department of justice and local election authorities. we have no way to confirm whether a small number of these voters fall under an exemption, which is why we referred it to the authorities for further investigation." dan simon, san francisco. moving on now, we have some consumer news, especially for veterans, service members, and their families. 7 on your side's michael finney is here with that. michael? >> reporter: hey, dan. california attorney general xavier becerra issued a consumer

alert today about identity theft and fraud that is aimed at and targeting veterans and their families. he says scammers often target military members and their families by pretending to be related to a specific service or unit. consumer scams include identity theft and fraud. they often take advantage of the trust that service members have for other service members. >> i want to urge californians and the military community to be vigilant. do your homework and to trust your instincts. if something is too good to be true it most likely is. if it doesn't seem or feel right, do your research. >> reporter: the attorney general's office has a website where you can report scams. we put a link to it on our website. if you're ever dealing with a situation like this and you're wondering am i being scammed, please call 7 on your side. sorry, we're in the pandemic.

you can't call us. please go online, ask us the question. we'll look it up and we'll let you know. dan? >> okay. excellent, michael. thank you, as always. as the sun sets in the bay area, we're saying good-bye to another chilly day and hello to some rain that's on the way. abc 7 news we are the thrivers. women with metastatic breast cancer. our time... ...for more time... .has come. living longer is possible- and proven in postmenopausal women taking kisqali plus fulvestrant. in a clinical trial, kisqali plus fulvestrant helped women live longer with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. and it significantly delayed disease progression. kisqali can cause lung problems or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite,

reports, it revolved around an old airplane and a couple of veterans who predate it. >> good morning, folks. >> reporter: that comes from a man who's been saying it for 100 years. and yet dell teeneman knows more than most of us that some mornings are better than others. this would be one of those after a ride on a world war ii vintage dc-3. what does veterans day mean to dell? >> i think of the guys i know quite well that didn't make it. >> reporter: he flew these planes in world war ii, dropped troops on d-day, and did make it back. and del had company today. an elder at 105. >> what do you think the 27-year-old in that picture would say about the man sitting here today at 105? >> he's really lucky. >> reporter: al magini survived combat like this in 35 bombing missions over germany. so if someone wanted to say thanks, how would he do it? joe anderson of sonoma county offered up his iconic plane as a memory trigger. >> as an honor for my dad and my
