“For some items we have less than a week’s supply, and we expect a surge of patients to start coming. This donation from Tesla is incredible,” said Dr. Waldorf from UW Medicine ❤️

In the '90s, I spent many hours fixing Y2K software bugs. Today, Y2K is often laughed off as a hoax. The issue was real, but nobody saw the consequences. Covid19 response is going to be similar. If the measures we take work, people won't believe they were necessary.

The UAE with a population of 9.4M has conducted 125k tests so far. The US with it's population of 327M, on the other hand, has conducted 41k tests. Look at the data and draw your own conclusions.

[Our World in Data @OurWorldInData]

Conducting more tests is critical to treat people and prevent spread of COVID-19

We’ve gone through reports & press releases, country by country, curating a dataset with official estimates on tests

All sources documented, all data available for download https://t.co/Qn25WsMp16

Capital matters. Minnesota startups raised $1B MORE than Wisconsin startups in 2019. Multiply that disparity by a decade and imagine what importing $10B into your economy would do...

ICYMI: @Inc ranks Madison #18 among the nation's top 50 "surge cities" for starting a business in 2020. The city now boasts "one of the fastest growing centers for early-stage funding deals per capita in the country." https://t.co/t2qfDDaJFr @MadisonRegion @WARF_News

It's an interesting model and one that can be especially beneficial to younger, untested entrepreneurs!

[Trace Cohen @Trace_Cohen]

Yes seeing a lot of this!
1) basically super angel checks $50-150k into startups
2) more/faster investments than typical VC fund would
3) more diverse angel/operator LPs

Are they just buying relationships for future rounds or can these funds make $? We’ll find out soon!
