| Greetings, QuickTake readers! In this edition: Trump threatens to send more federal agents to quell unrest, Bezos just got a heck of a lot richer, and astrophysicists unveil the biggest-ever 3D map of the universe.  U.K. vaccine shows early promise A Covid-19 vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca boosted protective antibodies and virus-targeting T-cells in hundreds of people, scientists said in a study published Monday. The dual immune response lasted for at least two months in people who got the shot, the study said, a promising result for early human trials and a key milestone for one of the fastest-moving vaccine projects globally. "We're stimulating both arms of the immune system," said Dr. Adrian Hill, the head of Oxford's Jenner Institute. AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot said he hopes "we can start delivering a vaccine before the end of the year." Researchers plan to prioritize a two-dose regimen, rather than a single shot, in further trials, likely setting up a massive challenge when it comes to producing and deploying doses to the world's population—and an even tougher one if repeat doses are needed, potentially every year. Oxford scientists noted that while some recipients—and ultimately, perhaps even the majority of them—may be protected by one dose, AstraZeneca officials are doubling down on a two-dose strategy. "The last thing we want is to miss because we haven't dosed enough," said Mene Pangalos, Astra's head of biopharma research, "so the safest approach and making sure we hit efficacy is doing two high doses." More: - AstraZeneca committed to making 2 billion doses of the vaccine and will deliver the first 30 million to the U.K. by September and 100 million by the end of the year. The U.K. has also signed deals to buy 90 million doses of vaccines from Pfizer, BioNTech, and Valneva.
$ignificant figure $858 billion. European Union leaders were given a compromise proposal for a €750-billion economic recovery fund to help countries overcome the economic fallout from the pandemic on the fourth day of talks in Brussels. $13 billion. How much Jeff Bezos added to his fortune on Monday, the largest single-day jump for an individual since at least 2012, as Amazon shares rose 7.9% on optimism over online shopping trends. 25%. That share of Manhattan office tenants plan to downsize their New York City footprint by 20%, and about 16% expect to move jobs out of the city as the pandemic keeps employees working from home, a survey said. Highly quotable "These people are anarchists." Trump threatened to send additional federal law enforcement into more Democratic-run cities to deal with unrest after the deployment of agents to Portland earlier this month. "Primary subject in the attack." Roy Den Hollander, an "anti-feminist" lawyer found dead in the Catskills, is considered the prime suspect in the shooting of a federal judge's family in New Jersey, the FBI said Monday. "Serious problems in construction." Kim Jong Un "rebuked" a building committee for its "careless" construction of the flagship Pyongyang General Hospital, ordering those responsible to be fired, state media said. This is not normal Nearing the crest. Heavy rains pushed China's Yangtze River to record levels, putting the Three Gorges Dam under pressure and raising the odds of more floods after earlier ones left 140 people dead or missing.  The future is now Stars aligned. Hundreds of astrophysicists from around the world teamed up to produce the largest 3D map of the universe that tracks its growth over 11 billion years and details more than 2 million galaxies and quasars.  What's good Fashion statement. Why should a pandemic prevent personal style? South African designer Kelebogile Foko is inspiring others with bespoke masks that encourage self-expression while keeping the community safe.  Now that you're caught up...
