As a kind of first responder, I was interested in the case in Spain and now the case in Dallas, where nurses doing everything by the book contracted the disease. Now several representatives of nurses groups are saying that they're not getting adequate training in how to use (and most important: remove) the hazmat suits. I believe it; I can just imagine some hospital admin saying "okay I ordered the suits, now I need to book myself a trip to The Hellouta Here."

It's my assumption (now) that no one will go into an isolation ward without proper gear and training. Someone hands me a hazmat suit and says "go clean that up," I'm not about to do it until I know I'm doing everything right. Now. Maybe last week, I would have assumed I could get it right the first time.

Paul Simon Takes Us Back

by Thomas L. Friedman
The New York Times
May 30, 2012

Of all the raw and compelling voices in Joe Berlinger’s must-see documentary, “Under African Skies,” about the making of Paul Simon’s classic “Graceland” album in South Africa in 1985 — and his reunion with the same African artists 25 years later — my favorite is that of Graceland bass player Bakithi Kumalo. He tells about that day in 1985 when he met Simon in a Johannesburg recording studio:

“I was just working as a mechanic,” says Kumalo, “and one day I got this call from the boss and he said, ‘Hey, Paul Simon is in town, you know, and he’s looking for some musicians.’ And I said, ‘Paul Simon, who is Paul Simon?’ I mean I had no idea. And then the guy tried to explain to me. He’s singing all the songs. You know, like the songs from Simon and Garfunkel. And I’m like, ‘It doesn’t ring a bell.’ And then I take my bass and I go to the studio and so I meet Paul and Roy Halee, the engineer, and they’re like ‘Hey, man, let’s, you know, let’s play some.’ We’d play a chord — Paul would smile ... and then he’ll stop and change it. We didn’t know why is he changing? But he needed another part there that we didn’t know. Then he’ll break and give us different chords, and then we learned different things, and it was like going back to music school.”

Watching this film is, indeed, like going to music school and much more. For many, it will be going back to the first time they really heard the unique harmonies and rhythms of African music — thanks to “Graceland.” For some, it will be going inside the studio of one the most creative musicians of our time, watching him probing and experimenting with the styles, voices and melodies of South African musicians and melding them with chords and lyrics dancing in his own head into songs that we’ve been humming ever since. Who knew she had diamonds on the soles of her shoes?...
