Today I am offering up a special prayer for the people in central China. The “Three Gorges Dam” is one of the largest dams in the world. It spans the Yangtze River. It is at flood stage and has been going through emergency release procedures for a number of days as the area has experienced torrential rains. Thousands are currently being evacuated for reasons of safety and have already been flooded from their homes. If the dam should collapse, the effects will be devastating for tens of millions with the potential to reach 100 million. | ||
For any readers who might say: “What’s China got to do with me?” You should be aware that the central region of China is one of the main manufacturing centers in the world and they produce a significant portion of the personal protective equipment (PPE) – masks and gowns, worn by the medical staff and first responders around the world. Even if the worst (dam collapse) is avoided, there is still a high probability of shortages and delays in the manufacture and delivery of PPE for the next few months. | ||
Climate change, pandemics, global trade… We really are ONE world and I encourage everyone to think positive thoughts / offer prayers for the people of China. | ||
