If the data hold up and a key safety readout Pfizer expects in about a week also looks good, the world may have a vital new tool to control a pandemic.Shanghai Reports First Domestic Case in Months (6 a.m. NY )Shanghai reported a single domestic case of Covid-19 on Monday, according to the municipal government.
