We need John's wit and voice to continue.

It's nice to see how many fans he has on DU.

He needs our prayers and love, as do the thousands who are critically ill."

All in all, this seems to be positive news.

No snark. Just sad that the entertainer survived but the medical professional succumbed to the virus.

“I need to clarify what I mean by ‘John is stable,’ ” Fiona wrote in a follow-up tweet. “That is not the same as improving. "

As far as I'm concerned an upgrade in status, however slight it may be, is an improvement. So being deemed stable rather than critical is an improvement. I understand that he's not all better and that he still has a steep climb to wellness.

Can't anyone be glad for him even if he hasn't fully recovered?
