This goes to show how weak and dependent we have become on IT and how easy it now is to plunge a society into chaos.

Its needed to know that this attack misuses the security hole in windows that was fixed in March 2017

So if the UK NHS switched their actualizations off, its their fault.

Correct/ this also shows how devastating a huge EMP pulse will be. image if we are thrown back to pre - electronic era. Also fits in with end time prophecy, when talking about wars with bows and arrows and horses etc. '

I went to my GP today, I thought they would have been over any problem
by now. But they had only just got a few of their computers working
by the time I arrived. Fortunately my doctor's was working.

There was lots of walking back and forth going on, logging appointments
manually, writing up treatment notes - ya know back to the good old days
when every patient had a file and no one could read anyone's handwriting. :D
