brownie Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Latest reports indicate Al Jarreau has been taken off the critical list.

Dan Gould Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Latest reports indicate Al Jarreau has been taken off the critical list. His condition has been downgraded 'from critical to stable'. 'He is conscious, awake but tired'. Is "downgraded" the proper terminology in French? Because here, you get downgraded from stable to critical, not the other way around. That's an upgrade, and its welcome news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an upgrade, and its welcome news. In some European languages the equivalent of "downgraded" is used to indicate an improvement in one's condition from "critical" to "stable". It can be compared with a downgrade from "high alert" to "medium alert" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I met Al in Seattle in the late 90's (he came by Muzak for a tour), he was very gracious and friendly. Hope he gets well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main thing is that Jarreau's condition is slightly improving! He is being transferred today to an hospital in the larger city of Marseille where he is to stay for the next few days.

sidewinder Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Al Jarreau is out of the hospital by now! The AP report. Combination of altitude and heat? I wonder if there's an underlying asthmatic condition. Great news that Al is out though. Too many bad news stories these past few days.

Happy to oblige A much more pleasant title, especially given all the RIP threads that have been cropping up recently. Not that the passing of these wonderful artists shouldn't be noted. It should. But good news is always welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
