The COVID-19 situation in the US is continuing to improve, as the nation records declining case numbers in all 50 states

It comes as the Biden administration announces that the country will share an additional 20 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines with the world by the end of June.

This announcement follows the White House previously allocating 60 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

The vaccines will be a combination of Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson

This will come after the Food and Drug Administration give the vaccine a stamp of approval.

However, there is no word yet on when AstraZeneca will receive the required authorisation.

Biden says he knows America will “never be fully safe until the pandemic that’s raging globally is under control”.

Biden also said he plans on moving America towards becoming an “arsenal” of global vaccine supply.

Concerns over COVID-19 vaccine patents

This comes after the US announced it supports waving Covid-19 vaccine patents.

Many countries have voiced strong opposition to the proposal, including Germany.

Germany’s government says “the protection of intellectual property is a source of innovation and must remain so”.

However, the European Union has expressed its readiness to consider the proposal, with a number of other member states throwing their support behind the initiative.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
