6:07 pm
counties in the red. meaning that there are high levels of community transmission. one of those counties is marin county. >> we are seeing a swell in cases in marin county. a surge, in fact. we are looking at our case counts, we are about 70 on average per day. if you look back at the delta surge, our peak of the delta surge was about 50 cases per day on average. luz: last time they faced a surge like this one was in december but now dr. matt willis , marin's public health officer, is not worried. he says hospitalizations are not going up. >> when we had 50 cases per day of delta, we had about 25 people in the hospital. right now, we are looking at six people in the hospital in marin county. luz: what is interesting is that this is the most vaccinated county and the state. so why are they in the red? dr. willis attributes this to the mask mandate being lifted. people gathering again and something else. >> the fact that we may have
6:08 pm
less natural immunity might put us at higher risk. less risk, significantly less risk for what i was concerned about, which is severe illness and death. luz: san francisco has seen 200 covid cases per day. dr. chris, chief of emergency medicine at san francisco general hospital believes that number is even higher. >> we are getting at some of the highest rates we've seen in a long time, but a lot of people were not even reporting it. so the numbers that we are seeing are not the entire picture. luz: the city's department of public health said in part san francisco has seen a steady increase in case rates, likely due to the ba.2 subvariant. which is even more transmissible than the ba.1 omicron. at this time, we do not expect more severe disease or hospitalizations for people who are up to date on their vaccinations. san francisco reports 33 people are hospitalized right now with
6:09 pm
covid. dr. colwell says most people who are vaccinated and boosted and get covid are recovering at home. >> day three and four are really generally the worst, where you really feel what they described as feeling cruddy. then you start to get better by day five and by seven, they are feeling almost like they're back to normal again. maybe more fatigued than usual. luz: dr. matt willis says he is not planning to bring back the mask mandate, despite marin county reporting 70 covid cases per day, a number that is exceeding the delta surge. he said the community is vaccinated and boosted and every resident has to weigh their risks. in the newsroom, luz pena, abc7news. dan: thanks very much. the closure of jfk drive in san francisco started during the pandemic and is expected to be made permanent by the board of supervisors. roughly a mile and a half long, it winds through golden gate park. the idea of keeping a car free is supposed to be voted on today. -- the idea of keeping it car

6:12 pm
6:13 pm
dan: education is a vital part of building a better bay area and today, oakland and a fight school district told parents to keep students home from school on audit because of a planned teachers strike. as abc7news reporter leslie brinkley explains, officials say this strike is illegal and they are fighting an injunction. leslie: oakland unified school district said they are asking all families to not send their children to school on friday. the district said they do not believe they will be able to cover for staff absences because of a declared one day teachers strike. teachers and staff say they plan to have a picket line at every single oakland school on friday morning from six: 30 a.m. until 10 a.m., followed by a rally at the amphitheater. >> let's be clear.
6:14 pm
we are going on an unfair labor practice strike. this is not a strike for wages and benefits. this is a one day you lp strike. leslie: ousd insists the strike is illegal, saying in a statement there has not been a final ruling on the unfair labor charge. the asserted basis for the strike. they say they respect the right to protest with strongly urge the oakland education association to reconsider its illegal activity. >> the district modified me yesterday that they are planning to file a request for injunctive relief. in an attempt to stop strike on friday, so that will be litigated in the next 72 hours. leslie: the strike is in retaliation to the district plan to consolidate three schools in another eight schools in here. the teachers say they are in predominately black and brown neighborhoods. >> ousd it our agreement with the oakland education association to have a one year
6:15 pm
community engagement process to close schools, which ultimately led to this you lp strike. leslie: parents at schools not cited foreclosures said that they support keeping their kids out of school friday, like this mom of a third-grader. >> i am definitely in support of the teachers and we will be staying home on friday. leslie: oakland says it will be an excused absence for students. meanwhile, the oea hopes ousd changes their minds on closing schools. >> stop the harm. stop the harm right now. leslie: in oakland, leslie brickley, abc7news. dan: there is a lot to talk about here. let's get a big picture perspective. joining us live as abc7news insider no material. hi, phil, always great to see you. let's start with this. are the issues we heard about involving oakland teachers specific to that district or are you seeing this as a bay area wide issue? phil: it is not only a bay area wide issue, it is a state wide.
6:16 pm
at the heart of this is the fact that enrollment in public schools is declining. at an alarming rate. just this last year, we lost about a hundred 10 thousand students statewide in public schools. some of them are because families have moved out of their districts or even out of the state because they cannot afford to live here. others have taken their kids out of schools after the pandemic. they were upset that the schools were closed while the private and charter schools stayed open. so they are putting them into private schools and charter schools. and there is a fear that many of them have just simply dropped out after the pandemic. whatever the case, when you have a declining enrollment, you have less money coming in from the state. you have less money to operate schools. it is not just oakland, san francisco is experiencing it. los angeles has expanse this. even cupertino and west coast oconto counties have experienced it. the smaller ones to a lesser degree, but those students -- no students, no money. dan: that is the bottom line,
6:17 pm
isn't it? we talked earlier about jfk drive, it might stay car free in that area around golden gate park. debate is underway, been going on for hours, what are your thoughts about this? phil: i cannot help but smile. i call this my revenge of the supervisors. they are going to have to stay there all night and listen to hours and hours and hours of testimony from people on both sides of this issue. overwhelmingly though, i think they are going to be in favor of closing it down and opening it up for bikes all the time and walks all the time. and turning it into a recreational street, rather than a utility street that goes from one end of the park to the other. dan, this is something that people in san francisco want. they started in the pandemic with closing down streets. they want to allow for bicyclists to go in there safely. they want families to be able to cycle in there, skateboard in, do whatever. the mayor is behind this, so the supervisors are going to have to do what we have had to do 70 times with them. listen forever for a vote we already know is pretty much done. dan: pretty close to forever.
6:18 pm
they have been at it for hours so far pretty quickly before we go, just a minute, changing topics on you. as we see covid cases rise do think we will return to covid rules and restrictions? phil: i asked a san francisco -- i asked san francisco about that and my sources at city hall set on the skilled one of 10 what would you put it at -- on a scale of one to 10 what would you put it at? they said to at best and the reason is we are seeing a rise in cases in hospitalizations, but some of those hospitalizations are for people that have covid or are going it for other operations. in san francisco, one third of the hospitalizations are from out of county, where we are helping out. i see you, intensive care is still low. the danger is low, although this bread is high. dan: thank you phil matier. ama: this just in, abc7news has learned tech giant paypal will close it san francisco office located on market street starting june 3. it is unclear if financial impacts are contribute into the closure, but the companies stock hit a 52-week low today.

>> building a better bay area, moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc7news. dan: the abc7news i team is investigating a loophole in state law that attorneys argue allows california hotels to avoid paying actual damages to guests. ama: now a state superior court judge says a case out of san francisco is exposing the need for the outdated law to change. dan: abc 7 i team reporters stephanie sierra has the story. reporter: one man's hotel stay
6:30 pm
in san francisco began with a costly mistake in his attorneys argue his hotel use this law to avoid paying the full price. what was supposed to be a fun summer getaway to san francisco turned into a legal nightmare for volvo. last june, he and his friends came to the city for a weekend of giants games, before heading to the first game, he checked into the marriott marquis, located off mission street. justice room was not ready, so the hotel offer to hold his bags. -- he says his room was not ready. later that night, he came back to a big loss. >> everybody stuff was there except mine. stephanie: he says his luggage which in included a bag, and ipad pro, a macbook pro, a four terabyte hard drive with his social security number and seven years worth of tax documents, along with his clothes were nowhere to be found. >> the next morning, early in the morning, i did speak to the
6:31 pm
manager, who said they're looking into it. and soon found out that they had given my stuff to somebody else. stephanie: according to the court judgment, marriott surveillance equipment showed that afternoon, a man went to the marriott claiming that he checked his baggage but lost the claim check. >> remarkably, the marriott let the guy walk into the back room. he pointed at my bags and said those are mine. they said is there any way that you can prove it do you have tickets or id? he said no i have none of that, but there is a computer in that computer bag. and they opened it up, there was a computer and they just handed my stuff over to this guy and he walked out. stephanie: frustrated with the process, he later sued marriott in small claims court and wondered >> the judge awarded us $5,000. stephanie: the story does not end there. marriott appealed the case on the grounds of the law enacted in 1872.
6:32 pm
also known as the innkeepers statute, that limits a hotels liability for guests belongings to $1000. marriott won the appeal, but not fairly according to san francisco superior court judge jeffrey ross who wrote this is one of the rare instances where the law does not allow the court to achieve the equitable results. >> he was appalled by it, obviously. it's written out clearly in the judgment. stephanie: according to the judgment, ross out light of the fact that the law is outdated, saying that this statute has not been revised to accord with the current value of luggage, clothing, and most notably, computer equipment and its data. >> prices have gone up enormously since this law was first enacted. stephanie: we brought this to jim wilcox, an economics professor at uc berkeley's school of business. he says prices of goods and services have gone up 20 to 25 times since this law was first enacted in 1872. yet in 2022, hotels in
6:33 pm
california are only liable for items up to $1000. >> compared to when the law was first enacted, $1000 then would be equivalent in real purchasing power terms -- would require a ceiling of about $25,000. stephanie: judge ross wrote one might expect marriott to recognize the aberration and in the interest of customer relations to pay the judgment. instead marriott appealed. the abc7news i team reached out to the marriott, but hotel management was unable to provide an on camera interview and declined to comment. he valued his stolen items to be worth around $8,300. but according to marriott's trial brief, the hotel was only legally liable for $500 due to this statute. >> it needs to kind of modernize with the times. you have an industry that has a get out of jail free card. stephanie: the innkeepers
6:34 pm
statute has not been amended in 42 years, leaving consumers paying the price. >> for me it is a matter of holding them accountable for the safety of customers. and not giving them this shield. stephanie: the court ordered marriott to pay him just over $1500 for a mistake made by their own staff. meanwhile, accounting his losses, he says he spent well over 10 grand just kinda fight this case. the question now is is it time for the law to change? for the i team, stephanie sierra, abc7news. ama: if you would like to see a story investigated contact the abc7news i team. go to abc7news/-- abc7news.com/i team. dan: east bay mud has made water cutbacks mandatory for its 1.4 million customers. the board voted to declare a drought emergency and require reductions of 10%. this came after the board

6:41 pm
company in a high-growth stage that there would be a lot of opportunities for me to grow my career. michael: applicants should not be intimidated, because competition for good talent is high. >> it is ok to apply to an internship, even if you do not necessarily need 100% of the requirements, as long as you have some of the qualifications that can get you there. michael: jenness background is in computer science, but sales first gave her an internship in infrastructure engineering. >> no clue what it is. i said i think this would be a good experience, let's go for it. michael: i hope she will go far. many internships disappeared during the pandemic. glassdoor tells us those internships are starting to return. i want to hear from you. send me your stories about buying a home, a car, paying off a loan, anything that has to do with you and money. i want to hear your triumphs and frustrations. go to abc7news.com/7 on your side to share them. dan: so nice to hear that these
