I'd say the best VCs treat founders like customers. And the best founders treat VCs like customers. There's mutual respect.
Good founders know what VCs are better at, and good VCs know what founders are better at. It's a win-win for the best.
It's like hiring.

People will start dying in masses (lag period of ~ 2 w) as we're not doing anything to prevent spread and hospitals do not have enough staff! The parliament isn't brave enough to call a lockdown now. Death toll has to raise to legitimize their actions. It'll be too late for many.

Balaji, as a fellow mic. biologist I always endorsed your tweets were always great as they applied rational thinking. This tweet, however, is just sensationalism ..why compare it to 9/11 (such an emotional reference). Doesn't serve any other purpose than to get eyeballs - no?
