I write to you in reference to a video shared on your Facebook page with the following caption: Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed reassures the UAE over food and medical supplies (March 17).
It is really good that Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed is addressing his people through social media and television in these troubled times.
Rasheed Ali, UAE
He is a great man, may he be blessed with good health and a long life.

Sheikh Mohamad bin Zayed has my full respect and admiration. He has brought tears to our eyes in this video. The level of responsibility and humanity he is showing to his people and country is truly amazing. God bless him.

In times of pandemic, we don't need to hear about celebrities
I write to you in reference to Ian Hawkey's piece Why delaying Euro 2020 due to coronavirus outbreak could prove problematic for Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal (March 17).
Honestly, with everything that has been going on in the world right now, it does not really matter what football event is cancelled or how it will affect Ronaldo's career.

Animal should not be trapped in zoos and aquariums
I write to you in reference to Sophie Prideaux's article Closed Chicago aquarium allowed its penguins to roam freely and it's the video we all need right now (March 17).
The Chicago aquarium should let the penguins be free and live in their natural habitat not inside glass cages.
