Buttigieg should have waited for Super Tuesday before withdrawing
I write to you in reference to your article Pete Buttigieg drops out of Democratic presidential contest (March 2).

Coronavirus is under control, but poor nations need help to contain it
I am writing to you in reference to Taylor Heyman's article Coronavirus containment strategy is working, WHO chief tells Riyadh conference (March 1).
I was very pleased to read this piece, which reassured me about the propagation of the coronavirus. Many people are very worried about the spread of the virus and fear that the epidemic might spiral out of control.
I am glad that this is not the case, although some experts believe that the WHO should do more to contain the virus, especially in terms of providing financial and technical expertise in the developing world.
