Pauline Gets Famous.

For those who don’t know, Pauline Cafferkey is a British nurse from Glasgow. She was one of those who took a great personal risk by volunteering to help Ebola victims in Sierra Leone. She caught the disease and has subsequently been the object of intense, apparently often experimental, treatment, and has become something of a celebrity in consequence. She’s now off the critical list and is showing signs of improvement.

Good for Pauline. Let’s wish her all the luck in the world, because the world needs people like her far more than it needs most of the people who are famous for other reasons.
