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 covid19 pandemic.

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 covid19 pandemic.

Reporter stanford professor dr. Robert harrington as part of an effort called recover, restore and reopen, or r3 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 hes 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 inperson learning back in september. Students and staff are tested for covid19 on a weekly basis. We want to be changemakers and this is a wonderful example of that.

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 offramp to i780 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. Benicias interim chief calls the incident tragic and offers his deepest condolences to the victims 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 teenagers effort to educate people about black lives matter and what its 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 17yearold danell mccann will host a sign garden for justice outside the dublin civic center. Much like those hes recently held in other trivalley 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 danells 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 17yearold boy could teach a 65yearold man something. But he did. For the last 4 1 2 days ive 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, hes gotten an opportunity to kind of walk in a black mans shoes. And he now understands kind of the threat that he placed on my sons back with just his words. Reporter mike grant told me now he would actually like to sit down and have a oneonone conversation with danell. Im 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 grants 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 danells event and any counterprotest remain peaceful. In dublin Laura Anthony, abc 7 news.

Hisamitsu. 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. Californias 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 gops logic that person would be ineligible to vote. Problem is this woman says shes 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 theyre 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 oneblock 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 nevadas 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 sides 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 doesnt seem or feel right, do your research. Reporter the Attorney Generals Office has a website where you can report scams. We put a link to it on our website. If youre ever dealing with a situation like this and youre wondering am i being scammed, please call 7 on your side. Sorry, were in the pandemic. You cant call us. Please go online, ask us the question. Well look it up and well let you know. Dan . Okay. Excellent, michael. Thank you, as always.
