Mar. 23—An elderly Hallwood man who went missing over the weekend was found deceased Sunday afternoon, according to the Yuba County Sheriff's Office.

Around 8 a.m. Sunday, the sheriff's office received a 911 call reporting the disappearance of 86-year-old Teddy Grady. Family members told law enforcement that Grady suffered from dementia and was last seen safe at home in their guesthouse the night before.

An extensive search was launched in the area and surrounding communities that included law enforcement, search and rescue, family and community members. Neighbors scanned security camera video from overnight and found footage of Grady walking in the Hallwood area during the late night and early morning hours.

Around 4:45 p.m. Sunday, Grady's body was found in the water of an irrigation ditch on the west side of the road in the 2400 block of Highway 20 in Hallwood. The official cause of death has not been determined, pending an autopsy.

"We would like to thank the community for the outpouring of support in assisting with this search," said Leslie, Williams, spokesperson for the sheriff's office, in a press release. "Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Mr. Grady."

  • Europe divided over two vaccines: AstraZeneca and Sputnik V

    Long-awaited data from the Oxford/AstraZeneca U.S. trial suggests the vaccine is safe, 79% effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19, and fully effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths.Yes, but: The suspension of the vaccine in at least 13 countries due to blood-clotting concerns has severely damaged the shot’s reputation in Europe, with majorities in France (61%), Germany (55%) and elsewhere now deeming it unsafe, according to a YouGov poll.Get market news worthy of your time with Axios Markets. Subscribe for free.Driving the news: The rollout has resumed in most of Europe (Nordic countries are holding off), but it’s unclear how successful it can be when so few people appear prepared to take it.It could be even more damaging if that lack of faith spreads to developing countries, where AstraZeneca's vaccine is the most widely available option.The state of play: Leaders in Brussels are currently more worried about supply than demand. They’re considering blocking some exports to the U.K. on the grounds that the U.K. is importing doses produced on the continent but not reciprocating.U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is lobbying his EU counterparts against a potential ban, and Pfizer has warned that banning exports could weaken supply chains.Between the lines: The U.K. signed a contract with AstraZeneca that called for doses produced in Britain to stay there, much as the U.S. did with several drugmakers.The EU, meanwhile, is exporting around 40% of the doses it produces, with the U.K. receiving the most.What to watch: Brussels’ emphasis on “equitable distribution” is fading amid a brutally slow rollout and rising case counts.Not only are export bans under consideration, but European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Sunday that plans to donate doses to poorer countries are on hold until the EU’s domestic picture improves.The supply shortfalls in Europe have led to a debate over another somewhat controversial vaccine: Russia's Sputnik V.Why it matters: The latest data suggests the vaccine is safe and highly effective, and Russia wants to sell it all over the world — particularly within the EU. Several member states want to buy it, and some are prepared to help produce it.German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she'd be willing to go it alone to order Sputnik V if approved by regulators even if there was no common European decision on using it.The big picture: Having an effective state-funded vaccine could be a diplomatic coup for Moscow, but Russia lags behind the other major players in terms of manufacturing capacity and so is working to cut production deals around the world.What they're saying: “We have absolutely no need of Sputnik V,” Thierry Breton, the head of the EU's vaccine task force said on Sunday.He argued that the bloc was on pace to have sufficient capacity by the end of June using EU-made vaccines — likely long before enough Sputnik V would be available to make a meaningful difference.The other side: The vaccine's developers called Breton "clearly biased against the Sputnik V vaccine just because it is Russian,” adding, “Biases lead to failures. And Breton’s failures are clear to many people in EU."The latest: Meanwhile in Slovakia, Prime Minister Igor Matovic has said he's prepared to resign after announcing the purchase of Sputnik doses without the backing of his coalition partners.Go deeper: Biden's vaccine diplomacy challenge.Like this article?

  • The pandemic may have made lower-end apartments more expensive

    Rent in high-income neighborhoods in many major American cities has gone down during the pandemic, but lower-income neighborhoods have seen hikes, Catherine Rampell writes in The Washington Post. In San Francisco, for example, rents are dropping across the board, though the fall has been most significant for what are considered high-end rentals. In other cities, like New York or Washington, D.C., lower-end rentals have held steady, while higher-end prices have dropped. In her analysis, Rampell zeroed in on Chicago, where rents are increasing in lower-income areas, despite a fall in their higher-income counterparts. Here are rents for Chicago neighborhoods. Rental buildings in ritzier areas -- where higher-income people had been living, & lately cleared out -- are indeed offering great deals. Buildings in lower-income (and often majority non-white) neighborhoods have hiked rents pic.twitter.com/yy6RgYOToL — Catherine Rampell (@crampell) March 22, 2021 There are likely a few reasons behind the discrepancy, Rampell writes. People who could afford higher rents before the pandemic have, more generally, been able to work from home and subsequently migrated to the suburbs, leaving their city apartments vacant, which "placed downward pressure on rents." But not everyone who moved left their cities. Some folks instead chose to "move down the housing ladder to save money," which added to a pre-existing logjam for affordable housing. A "surge in demand for lower-price-point homes ended up bidding those rents higher," Rampell writes. Rampell suggests the increases may also be an unintended consequence of the federal eviction moratorium, which may have led landlords to raise rents for some tenants in the hopes of offsetting the losses stemming from others falling behind on their payments. Lower-income tenants also just have less leverage than high-income tenants. "They don't have money to move elsewhere, and landlords know they have them over a barrel," said Sandy Rollins, executive director of the Texas Tenants' Union. Read more at The Washington Post.
