    AWS is widespread enough that this would likely kill people. Medical solutions having AWS infra alone could do it.

      warn them. before taking your first pill, fly to russia and post a manifesto somewhere, saying you will shut down x major server at x time on x day, and then another server, and then another, until AWS continually as your ultimate goal. when all your threats come true, industries will take you seriously and be mostly prepared. you'll be like communist light yagami

        So your doctor writes you a prescription. How do you want the prescription to get to the pharmacy?

        • Carry it with you in person (excludes telehealth)
        • Fax (many pharmacies use this)
        • Internet (pharmacies are generally moving to this)

        Choose one

              A network that is not connected to the internet (roughly speaking).

              Pretty sure that intranets predate internet, and I worked as a systems administrator within such a network, so they do exist.

          Where I live it's both in person and over internet. I can show a QR code to my pharmacist and if I'm too old to know what a QR code is or if my phone is dead I can show the paper prescription or give them my ID
