Re: [NNagain] Cellular outage in US hits AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon users, Downdetector shows + Cyberattacks on hospitals are likely to increase, putting lives at risk, experts warn

[Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com>]

A strong point for resilience can be made by noting that the wifi
component of the network remained up. We have more than just phone
numbers to communicate, being able to also layer voice over signal,
videoconferencing, facetime and a zillion other tools that did not go
down.

The best and most snarky response I have seen yet to the debacle thus
far was "Upgrade to room 641A went south".
