AstraZeneca today said late-stage trials of its Covid 19 vaccine were “highly effective” in preventing disease. The vaccine, developed in conjunction with Oxford, prevented 70 percent of people from developing the disease. If people were given a half dose followed by a full dose, rather than two full doses, protection rose to about 90 percent.

A housing market defined by intense demand for relatively tight supply has pushed  home value growth to levels not seen since 2005.   Zillow says more homes are changing hands now than at any time in the past 15 years, with 6.85 million home sales in October alone.  In New Orleans last month, the median home sale price was just over $217,000, up nearly 7% from a year ago.
