Pfizer, which developed the coronavirus vaccine with the German drugmaker BioNTech, released only sparse details. The 90 percent level of protection it reported would put it on a par with highly effective childhood vaccines for diseases like measles. The data, however, is not conclusive: the analysis was released in a news release, not a peer-reviewed medical journal. Pfizer plans to ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for emergency authorization of the two-dose vaccine later this month, after it has collected the recommended two months of safety data. By the end of the year it will have enough doses to immunize 15 to 20 million people.

They could even become more pronounced — over trade, tech, Taiwan and other issues. President Trump’s refusal to concede could serve President Xi Jinping’s portrayal of the U.S. as being in decline. The unchecked coronavirus spread and political tumult have been key themes in Chinese state propaganda. On the ground: State media downplayed the election, perhaps to avoid emphasizing the democratic process. But Chinese people were not indifferent — both candidates were among the most searched topics on social media.

The strong turnout underscored voters’ commitment to Myanmar’s nascent democracy. It was only the second truly contested election the country has held in decades. Despite its expected strong showing, the governing National League for Democracy is facing criticism that it is repeating some of the sins of its former foe, the military, which controls much of the government. It has arrested scores of people for expressing their political views. Abroad, Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi’s defense of the military in its ethnic cleansing campaign against Rohingya Muslims has shattered her reputation as a human rights icon. Concerns: More than 1.5 million people among an electorate of 37 million people were barred from voting, many of them ethnic minorities living in conflict zones. And many of the country’s million Rohingya Muslims forced out were unable to cast ballots.

Divisions among Democrats. Immediately after the race was called, the progressive and moderate wings of the party blamed each other for Democrats ceding ground in the House and failing to win clear control of the Senate. Gridlock with Republicans. Whether Republicans keep hold of the Senate won’t be decided until two Georgia runoff elections in January. If they do, Mr. Biden has a solid working history with the majority leader, Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky. That makes some bipartisan action on matters like infrastructure and economic stimulus possible, though after such a bitter election neither side may be in a mood to compromise. Balance the cabinet. Mr. Biden’s first major appointments will come Monday: a coronavirus task force. Future appointments will reveal how he plans to balance the concerns of the left, right and center. Cool down trade tensions. The days of presidential tweets threatening trade wars may be over, but few foresee a wholesale change. Mr. Biden’s focus is at home, so pandemic relief is the priority even if allies press him to act on tariffs. Longer term, the Biden economic plan is focused on “bringing home critical supply chains so that we aren’t dependent on other countries in future crises.” That’s it for this briefing.
