Some police departments in California plan on using drones to enforce a coronavirus lockdown and to, in part, monitor the homeless population, according to a report. The Chula Vista Police Department, located just south of San Diego near the California-Mexico border, recently purchased two $11,000 drones -- doubling its fleet -- that will be outfitted with speakers and night vision cameras. “We have not traditionally mounted speakers to our drones, but ... if we need to cover a large area to get an announcement out, or if there were a crowd somewhere that we needed to disperse -- we could do it without getting police officers involved,” said Capt. Vern Sallee. Sallee is working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to expand drone usage in order to protect those in the community during the outbreak.

The Army, Navy and Pentagon fired off a new Hypersonic Glide Body engineered to travel more than five times the speed of sound and destroy enemy targets thousands of miles away in a matter of minutes, a Pentagon report said. Hypersonic weapons development, massively prioritized by the Pentagon, has been on the fast track in recent years; the first operational hypersonics are slated to be operational as soon as this year. While there are not a lot of details related to the experimental firing at the moment, many are likely not available due to security and data-gathering reasons, the Pentagon report did say the Common Hypersonic Glide Body flew “at hypersonic speed to a designated impact point.” The shot was fired March 19, from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kauai, Hawaii.

The University of Tampa announced that five of its students have tested positive for coronavirus and are recovering after returning from a spring break trip. The students were not identified and it’s unclear where they traveled or how many people were with them. None have been hospitalized and they are reportedly self-isolating now. They traveled together with other UT students during the schools' break which took place from March 8 through 15."UT has been notified that five UT students, traveling together and with other UT students during Spring Break, have tested positive for COVID-19," the school said on Twitter. "We sincerely wish our students, and any others who may be affected, a full and rapid recovery." Spring breakers in Florida have been criticized after being captured partying at some of the state's beaches inside of six feet -- the recommended social distancing guideline.

The National Rifle Association has been branded 'sickening' by Democrats after the gun rights organization published a video encouraging people to stockpile weapons amid the coronavirus pandemic. The four-minute long video features breast-cancer survivor Carletta Whiting who is also disabled. During the course of the video she speaks of her worry that the government will eventually 'lose control' and not be able to protect individual citizens, and urges people to arm themselves. In Whiting's video, she argues that just stocking up with food will not be enough. #NRA

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza said on Thursday that drug trafficking charges by the U.S. against President Nicolas Maduro announced earlier in the day showed the “desperation” of the “Washington elite”, Reuters reported. Arreaza said the Trump administration’s decision to offer rewards for the capture of Maduro and other high-ranking officials accused of drug trafficking show the administration’s “obsession” with Venezuela, which he said was due to its desire to reap “electoral returns” in the state of Florida.
