A slow return to normal life, with a mask
Regarding the latest UAE figures on the live coronavirus blog Global cases surpass 22 million (August 19): it is going to be ok. Schools are opening, as are cinemas. We have to live with this. I wear a mask almost permanently and always when out and about. I am forever washing my hands. And of course we have to be aware of the elderly at all times. But even as we have to be responsible to all, we also have to live and try to get back to normal.
Bernard Vallely, Abu Dhabi
I’ve had a fairly normal couple of weeks, meeting friends, going to the pool and it felt so good. Those that are vulnerable have it much harder. I know so many people who have a high-risk person living with them. It's not easy.

Young rapper in Gaza has miles to go
I write to you about your video on YouTube about the 11-year-old rapper in Gaza (August 18): that's a sweet, talented child. I want to tell Abdel Rahman Al Shantti to stay away from lyrics that endorse hate and good luck with your rapping. May you be very successful and inspire other children all over the world, not just in Gaza.
