    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    So when will there be packages available like cable?

    “$x.xx/month for Netflix, Disney and Crave. $5 extra for Peacock and Hustler.” That sort of thing.

    By the way that $5 add on is called “Cock Hustler”.

    Just FYI.

    BTW, Amazon already does this. You can plug HBO, Showtime, Starz, or whatever into your basic Prime subscription for an additional monthly fee.

    It isn't really "bundled," like cable, but you can pick and choose what you want under one umbrella service.

    Launching April 15 on Comcast’s Xfinity X1 and Flex video platforms before a national launch on July 15.

    It will come in three versions:

    a free, ad-supported one;
    a more robust, ad-supported one that will be free to Comcast and Cox Cable subscribers,
    and $5 for everyone else

    I'll probably try out the one that's free for Comcast subscribers.

    Tried this out today for free with my subscription- it's got the Fast and the Furious franchise (not the new ones though), Reservoir Dogs and Cheers and Lost and Translation. But i had to watch 140 seconds of ads before any of this played.

    Definitely nothing to get excited over. Just another streaming platform to browse when you're bored.

    Interface with shows looks identical to Disney+
