Watch this nine-minute video of Charlie Baker, the Governor of Massachusetts, giving a press conference about coronavirus in the state:

As you'll see, he gives various newsworthy answers to different questions from journalists about the crisis. Your job below is to write two different direct leads based on what you hear from Gov. Baker's answers.
Remember, as a journalist you choose what is most important. Not every one of his answers is necessarily as newsworthy as the others, so think about what would be most relevant to your potential audience from this larger press conference.
