Make streaming services free to reduce Covid 19
As the world is getting ready for another phase of lockdown due to the deadly corona virus that struck the planet earlier, a US sentator Angus King has asked streaming services like Netflix and HBO to make streaming free for users to ensure that they do not leave the house to gather in group to spread the virus.
The Senator said: “As organizations around the country continue to respond to the spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, I am reaching out to discuss and consider the unique role that your companies play in providing content-based activities this holiday season,” King wrote. “Specifically, I encourage you to temporarily remove any cost considerations for use of your services for current non-subscribers as a public service to who are seeking to remain safe and indoors this holiday season, as opposed to the risks involved as the nation sees a dramatic surge in pandemic cases.”
