Worrying trend in VC:
Everyone is moving downstream, earlier & earlier.
With the movement, growth investors are writing “small” checks (for them, 2-10M).
Their diligence plummets. Bar lowers.
They do “interesting” deals. Decent market, decent founder, meh, sure?
Wow. 😬

I am looking for a cofounding engineer for something new. I have increasingly been dismayed with the state of media. I am thus starting a new community owned DAO with the mission to help people find the best online content - DM me if interested! medium.com/@otown/why-were-b…

1/ I want to take a minute and talk about @chippercashapp.
Most important thing against Delta is more people vaccinated. Boosters help individuals but don't help society as much as incremental new vaxxed folks.

We've seen a stampede of unicorns in Europe - 16 new unicorns in Q1 2021 compared to 15 for all of 2020 - and this is breeding a new generation of European founders. We're here to back them. 🌓🔥
Thank you Amias. This is great!

"Typical decision makers allocate only 25% of their time to thinking about the problem properly... most spend their time gathering information which feels like progress... but information without context is falsely empowering."

Just shows how tough it is to have strict guidelines – it's not like there's a magic barrier that kicks in at 6 feet. It's all maddeningly probabilistic.
And, as virus prevalence in a region rises, a low-odds exposure type (10-20 ft away, indoors & unmasked) gets riskier.
#Airborne transmission from 20 ft distance after just 5 min of exposure. CCTV footage showed source patient (B) had no direct contact w/infected (B) seated 20 ft away, or (C) seated 14 ft away. AC unit may've aided airflow. NOTE: restaurant lacked windows & ventilation system.

Didn't plan to tweet today, but can’t resist a few quick takes on @pfizer vaccine news tinyurl.com/yygwoxwf
90% efficacy is far better than even most optimistic projections. An election analogy: these are CA results, rather than PA. (1/16)
I want 100 COVID test strips in my medicine cabinet for $25. Let’s make this happen please FDA/ governments of the world.
My #Solvable interview w the brilliant Michael Mina, who thinks there is a very straightforward and doable way to end Covid. Listen and get angry about how dumb we all are. podcasts.pushkin.fm/solvable…
Superb thread about weighing risk and benefits in covidworld
1/ Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 181
Today marks a half-year of Covid. We’re increasingly told that "it’s vital that we remain vigilant.” But what exactly does that mean?
So today: how to make sound decisions about risk in the face of uncertainty, longing, frustration & fear.

People can't stop talking about schools and #COVID19
Here's a thread on school transmission studies!
Summary:
- If prevalence high in the community, it will be high in schools and some will transmit
- Isolated cases result in low transmission
- Infection prevention works
