Scource A shows a guy stuck in a crowd thinking that "Jialat Liao! There goes the 1 meter apart!" This means that Singaporeans did not follow the rules that the government gave out.

Source A shows a very crowded supermarket packed with people and someone in the picture is thinking “There goes staying 1 meter apart”.

Source A states “The most well-thought-out strategies… Jialat Liao!

Source A states “BUT SOMETIMES THE MOST WELL-THOUGHT-OUT STRATEGIES MAY NOT GO ACCORDING TO PLAN - EVEN IN SINGAPORE.” This tells us that despite the government playing their part in planning out the responses, rules and regulations, the citizens did not follow the rules, and thus makes their planning useless.

Source A shows a large group of people overcrowding inside a public space, despite the goverment enforcing social distancing rules which can be inferred from the person in red thinking about how the people violate the 1 meter rule Above this diagram lies the statement ‘But sometimes the most well though out strategies my not go according to plan’.

Source D shows that the increased rate of transmission of the diffrent variants of covid 19 is rendering government mitigation method irrelveant and redundant. In order to protect its citizens, it is up to the government to implement new and improved methods to reduce the spread of coivd 19 among the population .

They are in charge and responsible for the protection of Singaporeans from the new pandemic. The government should do something about the situation and it isn’t the citizens fault as they just want to buy stuff from the supermarket and are panicking from the lockdown that is going to occur.]]> 2022-08-25 02:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270858309 lee_yun_en_chloe https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270859361 Through examination of Source A, it disagrees that the government is responsible for ensuring that Singaporeans are protected from Covid-19. Source A shows supermarket being congested with shoppers who are trying to get groceries not following the safe distancing measures. And the Source also states “the most thought out strategies may not go according to plan - even in Singapore”. This implies that as long as locals refuse to obey the rules set by the government, they would not have the ability to keep the situation under control. Hence the government is not responsible for ensuring that Singaporeans are protected from Covid 19.]]> 2022-08-25 02:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270859361 https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270861137 I think the government is responsible for ensuring that Singaporeans are protected from COVID-19 to some extent as it is also the responsibility of the citizens to comply with the safety measures. The image in source A shows a crowded supermarket with the people emptying out the shelves of goods and a highlighted person in red thinking “Jialat liao! There goes staying 1 metre apart!”.  This shows that even with the safety measures the government put in place, in the end it is up to the people’s cooperation to make these safety measures effective.]]> 2022-08-25 02:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270861137 zoey_neo_jia_en https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270861318 I do not agree that the government is responsible for ensuring Singaporeans are protected from COVID-19. Citizens have the freedom to follow the rules implemented by the government and it shouldn’t be the government dictating citizens to follow their rules. The source shows that the shoppers do not seem to be adhering to the government’s rule of having a 1metre social distancing. This means that the citizens hav chosen not to follow the safety regulations. This shows that people should be responsible for their own selves and should follow the regulations implemented by the government . The government should only be the one responsible for creating these safety regulations for people to follow. ]]> 2022-08-25 02:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270861318 istillsleepwithmymum https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270911820 the government is not responsible. the source stated that “With singapore opening up, individuals also come into contact with people outside their households, making it difficult to trace the source of their infections.” This means that even if the government has implemented protocols such as TraceTogether,  it is useless due to the number of people moving around in singapore, and the nature of the virus making it highly contentious.

In source B The World Health Organisation states “wearing well-fitted masks should be used as part of a comprehensive ‘Do it all!’ Approach including maintaining physical distancing, avoiding crowded, closed and close-contact settings, ensuring good ventilation of indoor spaces, cleaning hands regularly, and covering sneezes and coughs with a tissue of bent elbow.” This means that the organisations have been encouraging people to minimise the transmission and helping their protection against the virus by giving citizens tips.]]> 2022-08-25 03:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270912617 https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270914038 Source B disagrees with the statement. Source B states that ‘depending on the type, masks can be used to prevent onward transmission’. This tells me that Individuals are responsible to select a mask that suits them. This shows that the mask’s uses can change depending on type and quality which can also cause variation in contracting the Virus. ]]> 2022-08-25 03:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270914038 joel_wan_hong_ye https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270914080 Source B agrees with statement. Source B states “while wearing a mask, you should continue to maintain physical distance from others as much as possible” This means that individuals are responsible in practicing social distancing, so that they do not spread covid to others if they have covid, and so as to protect themselves from others who have it, thereby lowering the chances of contracting the virus.]]> 2022-08-25 03:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270914080 https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270914208 I believe source C disagrees with the statement. Source C shows an image of a self test covid kit supplied by the government. Although the government has taken initiative to distribute these kits, it is ultimately up to the individuals to regularly test themselves and keep a record of their results. These kits will ensure that individuals with the virus will not be exposed to the general public and therefore reduce transmission of virus. 
However it could be argued that the government is responsible as they are the ones with the power to produce and supply these kits. Without their initiative and promotion of the kits to the citizens, people would potentially travel without knowing if they’ve contracted the disease and spread it around. Therefore, government fully are responsible to give the public access to these resources to protect them from the virus ]]> 2022-08-25 03:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270914208 https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270914623 i do agree that government is responsible  .

Source states that”wearing a mask does not mean you can have close contact with people.” This shows that although the government have set the rules for citizens to wear masks, the citizens should still have their own basic responsibility to maintain their distances between each other to prevent themselves from being within close proximity of each other which would lessen the spread of covid.]]> 2022-08-25 03:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270915462 dinie0208 https://padlet.com/jsspadlet/qbdfz2deo1uo2c7w/wish/2270915768 Source C disagrees with the statement.
