Warner 2021 movie releases to stream in 4K HDR on HBO Max

Craig, I thought you'd find this statistic interesting. Look a the deaths per 100,000 people in Sweden compared to past years. I'm glad they shutdown the world in 2015 when the deaths were so high!

Not saying the US /  CA / Newsom is doing it right by any means ( don't get me started ), but Sweden isn't doing great either -

I don't have time to watch everything made anyway, but there are still plenty of great films coming on disc. I doubt that will change in my lifetime - I'll be dead in 20 - 25 years. If they stop releasing films on disc in 10 years, I'll still have a huge collection of personally curated films that would take 5 years to re-watch at 3 - 4 a week !

If I watched a movie every day it would take me 3 years to go through my collection. If I throw in TV shows, probably 4 years!

Craig,

Most of Sweden's deaths happened the first 45 days because they were about 10-14 days too late in locking down their old folks homes. Unlike other Scandinavian countries, they don't have small local assisted living facilities--they have very large regionalized ones that have very large populations. So when Covid got into those facilities early, it took care of the weak pretty fast in large numbers. Sweden's total deaths have been extremely low since early May. 

Check out this article from September:  https://www.ft.com/content/5cc92d45-fbdb-43b7-9c66-26501693a371?fbclid=IwAR1LVc2zEsfETlgf96XGO_2XbW2VLvvlg4HmWzy0X_pC-SGTjo9LkwEkudQ

You can't protect 100% of the population, but Sweden has done a much better job than other countries when you look at total deaths when taking into account they haven't trampled on people's freedom. Have they had a second wave? Yes, but when you compare it to other countries around the world there's has been very minor. In the end, it matters WHO gets sick, not HOW MANY. If 100,000 young healthy people catch it, you'll have very few deaths. If you have 100,000 sick and elderly people catch it, you'll have about 5,000 deaths (age 70+). Life is about risk in everything you do and frankly, I don't want the government making decisions for me. I have a brain for a reason. That doesn't mean I'm going to go hang out with hundreds of people this holiday season, but if I want to get together with family and close friends, it's my right to do so--I know the risks and am willing to take the chance of catching it because I know that if I do, my likelihood of dying from it is about .02% given my age and health status. For comparison, if I catch the flu I have a .01% chance of dying. So mathematically speaking, Covid-19 is twice as deadly as the flu, but in reality, the flu isn't very deadly to begin with so I'm not worried.
