the W and H leads from the identified traditional lead.
1. Who Lead- Dominic Raab said reports of internment camps where women are forcibly sterilised
were ‘absolutely disgraceful’.
2. What Lead- CHINA must allow UN inspectors in to check ‘appalling and shocking’ human
rights abuses against Uighur Muslims, the foreign secretary has said.

5. Why Lead- ‘What China says is this is all lies cooked up by the West, and Britain a leading
member amongst them,’ he said. ‘What we say is if you dispute the allegations, there’s a simple
way to clear this up — allow the UN human rights commissioner to visit and access and see
these sites.’
6. How Lead- He has announced UK firms face fines unless they can show their supply chain has
not used forced labour from the camps, where 1million are said to be held.
The article on the left was taken from an online metro newspaper website; moreover the following are
the W and H leads from the identified traditional lead.
1. Who Lead- WUHAN: A year ago, a notice sent to smartphones in Wuhan at 2am announced the
world's first coronavirus lockdown, bringing the bustling central Chinese industrial and transport
center to a virtual standstill almost overnight. It would last 76 days.
2. What Lead- Wuhan returns to normal as world still battling COVID-19 pandemic
3. When Lead- The city has been largely free of further outbreaks since the lockdown was lifted on
Apr 8, but questions persist as to where the virus originated and whether Wuhan and Chinese
authorities acted fast enough and with sufficient transparency to allow the world to prepare for a
pandemic that has sickened more than 98 million.
4. Where Lead- Hong Kong has been grappling to contain a fresh wave of the coronavirus since
November. More than 4,300 cases have been recorded in the last two months, making up nearly
40 per cent of the city’s total.
5. Why Lead- Wuhan accounted for the bulk of China's 4,635 deaths from COVID-19, a number
that has largely stayed static for months.
6. How Lead- Wuhan has been praised for its sacrifice in the service of the nation, turning it into a
sort of Stalingrad in China's war against the virus, commemorated in books, documentaries, TV
shows and panegyrics from officials including head of state and leader of the Communist Party
Xi Jinping.
B. Instruction: Analyze the Ws and H in the following facts and stories. Then write a Traditional and
an Alternative lead for each of the following stories:

C. Instruction: Write the different kinds of Alternative leads based on “Covid-19 Pandemic”. Be
guided on the principles in writing a lead raised in the lesson. Use the table below.
Alternative Leads: Sample Leads

a. Punch Lead
Corona virus was a punch in the mouth, America recently recorded its two-
millionth coronavirus infection, then the U.S. of late 2018 is about to get its first
case. That is, a country of 328 million people has yet to encounter the virus. Or
if, as seems plausible, the true infection rate is understated by 90%, then the
U.S. of 2010 is about to encounter the virus for the first time—a country of 310
million people.
b. Picture Presentations of COVID-19 have ranged from asymptomatic/mild symptoms to

Descriptive Lead severe illness and mortality. Common symptoms have included fever, cough,
and shortness of breath. Other symptoms, such as malaise and respiratory
distress, have also been described.
c. Direct Address
Lead Modes of transmission of the COVID-19 virus, Respiratory infections can be
transmitted through droplets of different sizes: when the droplet particles are
>5-10 μm in diameter they are referred to as respiratory droplets, and when then
are <5μm in diameter, they are referred to as droplet nuclei. According to
current evidence, COVID-19 virus is primarily transmitted between people
through respiratory droplets and contact routes. In an analysis of 75,465
COVID-19 cases in China, airborne transmission was not reported.
d. Contrast Lead
From the “new normal” to a “new future”: A sustainable response to COVID-19
the short-term, governments should continue strengthening public health and
health system capacity, especially the early detection of and targeted response to
asymptomatic transmission among younger populations. Experience in our
region suggests that rapid detection coupled with robust contact tracing, can
control clusters of infection [8]. In parallel, countries should continue
strengthening the capacity of their healthcare systems, including health facilities
to ensure enough space and equipment to care for people who are severely sick,
and intermediate facilities for those who have milder symptoms. A strong public
health and healthcare system enables countries to accommodate more infection
without overwhelming the health system and having to trigger drastic public
health measures.
e. Question Lead What do we know about how SARS-CoV-2 is spread and why it's spreading so
quickly? SARS-CoV-2 is a respiratory virus; the primary way it’s transmitted is
human-to-human. It spreads very easily from person to person, and that’s why
it’s spreading so quickly. When an infected person talks, coughs, sneezes or
simply breathes out, they release respiratory droplets into the environment.
These droplets are laced with viral particles that can move on to infect others.
There has been some evidence of airborne and surface transfer of SARS-CoV-2.
In some cases, viral RNA has been found in the air and on surfaces hours to
days after contact with infected individuals. However, that RNA is not always
infectious.
f. Quotation Lead ‘From ‘It’s going to disappear’
to ‘WE WILL WIN THIS WAR’
Quoted by President Donald Trump of America, As the coronavirus began to
spread across the United States, President Trump repeatedly insisted that it was
nothing to worry about. Two months later, the United States became the first
country in the world with more than 100,000 cases, the economy has ground to
a near standstill, and the virus has killed more than 1,000 people in New York
state alone.
As cases increased and stocks tumbled, the president’s attitude toward the threat
of covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, has evolved from
casual dismissal to reluctant acknowledgment to bellicose mobilization. Below,
we trace the winding path of the president’s response to the virus, in his own
words.
g. Literary allusion Look, we have been on the front lines of all sorts of diseases. New strains of
Lead TB. Hep C. Even bedbugs are blamed on us. This virus doesn’t scare me. The
people out there — the citizens — that’s what scares me, man, all that toilet
paper hoarding and shit.”
