As more people are working at home, and trying to share information, and frankly just amuse themselves, there are some parts of the internet and cloud that are showing early signs of starting to wobble. 

I have been hearing reports of people having trouble using cloud conferencing solutions such as Zoom. Microsoft recently opened up their new Microsoft Teams Service, and apparently things did not go well there this morning, particularly in Europe. 

The NY Times just published an article on these particular issues.

Since a huge amount of the traffic on the internet is now streaming video I also expect we may see just some issues with internet overload in  some areas. God knows I am watching a lot more video than normal as it becomes a worse idea by the moment to head out into the public. 

This will probably become more of an issue as the public square packs up and goes home.
