What’s CVC?

I will say as a MD, who will be far more attractive to venture capital firms

Corporate VC I’m guessing

CVC then move to a VC after a few years.

I wouldn’t do an MD unless you really are passionate about it. I did it - and residency - and loved it... but it’s no longer as attractive a career as it once was. Lot of training if you don’t know you want to do it... but and impossible question to answer for anybody because it’s entirely dependent on one’s interests and goals.

It only takes 7 years to become a partner at MBB.

If you go straight through, you would finish as an IM doctor at age 30. Then you can become a partner at age 37.

Totally feasible

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
