NEWS INTRO

"In today's news, the pentagon has developed a microchip that will detect COVID-19 when inserted under the skin. The technology was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which operates under the Pentagon umbrella. The top-secret unit was launched during the Cold War to study emerging technologies for military use. Dr. Matt Hepburn compared their microchip to a car’s “check engine” light. On this day in history in 1979, the world's longest doubles ping-pong match ends after 101 hours.
