Exactly.
All critical data should be held locally as primary, and clouds should be for backups and shares. If making cloud as primary, multiple physical connections with different routes should be always kept, if the data there is "critical".

There are rules that can be followed, but medical records for 51 million people do not need to be stored at every hospital.

Your point is a start.

Of course, single hospital doesn't need to host and manage records of other hospitals. But keeping their own patients' records locally as primary AND backing up in real time to (shared governmental) cloud would be wanted.
With this, they can access to their records even when external connections are lost and safe keep their records for hazards.

Yep. Good rules can be made, they have not been made.

Seeing military organisations running Windows 95 is terrifying.

@TomAoki @kevinrns @stefano A shared governmental cloud does worry me considering the recent efforts by some Republican governors to obtain the medical records of trans people, though.

@kevinrns @TomAoki of course, there's no need to keep the records for all the people. But at least the ones being treated by that specific ward

My main point is the complex protections and needs have NOT been accounted for, the continuation of providing service despite computational sctewups has not been met, or studied.

Its a complete dogs breakfast.
