browner could not be here today. i did have a good conversation with him about that, as well as supervisor peskin had a conversation with him about that, specifically revolving around chinese hospitals. so we can come back to that later. but i do want to thank the individuals from -- the advocates from the community for continuing to make this an issue that we will not let go. as i said, there are live human beings in these beds. myself and supervisor stefani went last week and visited some of the family and saw the conditions and heard their concerns. what i'm hoping will come out of this and why we continue to have these conversations here at the board, is we want a long-term plan. a short-term and a long-term plan presented that will ensure that san francisco is not without this level of care. this is 24-hour, around-the-clock care, often patients that have trachs and this is expensive. we understand it's an important level of care that san francisco needs to have. so again i want to thank my colleagues for the ha

browner, how come no one from davies hospital is here to answer our questions. here's a plan that we propose. cpmc already retrofitted rooms specifically for sub-acute care for at least 17 patients. we can end this fight today if they are willing to keep these beds open for new sub-acute patients. when she was speaking on there are over 2,000s.n.f. beds and eight sub-acute, that's less than 1%. thank you. >> chair: thank you, ms. rivera. does your sister -- is your sister wanting to present or presenting for both? >> i'm just the one presenter. and, as you know, the alarm that was going off for the patient, and as i mentioned, she passed away. >> chair: thank you. i'm sorry to hear that. okay. we will move to mark erickson. >> it's just about good afternoon, supervisors. i'm mark erickson. i'm an an emeritus professor of law at hastings college for law. and for more than ten years now, our c.e.d. clinic, our community economic development clinic, has worked with san franciscans for justice on cpmc and health care concerns. generally in san francisco. i want to a

browner, when they have a town hall meeting, because i just heard, i have been working for three people and i get paid for one. i said that two years ago when i was here. that is still an issue. now i am on my last limb. the patients are our bread and butter, that is how i feel, so we have to care for them. they peak, they poop 24 hours. you have to take care of them. they vomit, they are so sick, and they are cutting staffing after staffing after staffing. and at one point i have 50 patients for the whole pacific campus. until now, the same issue. it is a long stride at van ness campus. my thing is, how about the patient ratio for a p.c.a. like me, who really care and are dedicated take care of patients. i don't care about the money, that's fine -- [indiscernible]. >> thank you. thank you for taking the time. next speaker, please. >> this is so obviously a product of capitalism. see bmc and other nonprofit and public hospitals have abandoned vital but low-paying care, not y for subacute staff but mental health and long-term care. the monopoly has a raise prices so much that the attorne

corruption, crime, organized crime and there is fatigue of democracy if you look at the 2018 data, browner data says support for democracy has been dropping to 48%, the lowest point since 2001 when it started to be measures, dissatisfaction with democracy has grown by 20 points, from 51 to 71 whereas satisfaction went from 44% to 24%. that is satisfaction with democracy. now, this toxic environment in which this super cycle is taking place, and a little footnote here, every time we speak of latin america, we have to do so in five minutes, we make the mistake of not underscoring the diversity and heterogeneity in the region. not all countries are the same. but just to give you a regional review. now, for our aspects, i would like to refer to the super electoral cycle is characterized by what i have called the vote of anger. there's a clear vote of anger rejecting official or ruling parties of elections that have been held -- two stayed in power, ecuador and costa rica and there was continuity in two. this was forced by elections with fraud and irregularities. we have a clear trend toward al
