Before we start discrediting you usual bullshit and lies, why do you leave huge blank white spaces between your paragraphs, wasting bandwith while saying nothing? I have to go through and edit out your white space. So typical of you to take up a massive amount of space, without saying anything at all. A true metaphor for all of your posts.
You say "11 days" like it's a meaningless space of time in this pandemic. In Canada, the Province of Quebec had their March break 1 week earlier than the rest of Canada. Quebecers went on March Break with no restrictions or recommendations on travel. The went to Florida and Europe and then came home.
As a result of that 7 DAY DIFFERENCE in shutting down, the Province of Quebec, had more than half the cases and 2/3 of the deaths, in Canada even though Quebec has only 1/4 of the population of the country.
The pandemic modellers have said that if Donald Trump had taken action to shut the nation one week earlier, 36,000 lives would have been saved. If he had shut down 14 days earlier, 54,000 lives would have been saved.
Lockdown Delays Cost at Least 36,000 Lives, Data Show (Published 2020)
Even small differences in timing would have prevented the worst exponential growth, which by April had subsumed New York City, New Orleans and other major cities, researchers found.www.nytimes.com
Every day that Trump denied, dithered, deflected and delayed, cost thousands of lives.
He shut down travel with China and asshats like you said he was a racist and xenophobe and the democrats told people to go into China town and not to worry......you twit.
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TELL YOU, TRUMP NEVER SHUT DOWN TRAVEL FROM CHINA. HE CLOSED THE BORDER TO "NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL". The restriction took effect Feb. 2, and it exempted U.S. citizens, green card holders, and business travel.
HE TOLD 400,000 AMERICANS LIVING AND/OR WORKING IN CHINA TO COME HOME BEFORE HE CLOSED THE BORDER TO MOST TRAVELLERS. When these people returned from China, they weren't tested or quarantined. They just fanned out across the country and returned home.
AP FACT CHECK: Trump’s inaccurate boasts on China travel ban
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defending early missteps in the U.S. response to the coronavirus, President Donald Trump has repeatedly boasted of travel restrictions on China that he suggests he decided on his own over the objections of health experts and saved “thousands” of lives.apnews.com
DNA testing on the strain of covid19 most Americans have show that the virus originated in Europe not China. Airports all up and down the East Coast, but principally in New York, and New Jersey received travellers returning from Europe and connecting to flights all across America. Travel from Eurpe wasn't banned until March 12 - 6 weeks after the restrictions on China went into effect.
6 weeks of people arriving from Europe with the virus and returning to their homes across the USA.
Oh....it was Europe...........now that is funny...
Go sell that lie to democrats...they are stupid enough to believe it.....
And....
You still have not answered the question....
How is it that as more Americans not only own guns, but over 18.2 million Americans carry them for self defense.....our gun crime rate went down 75%...
How do you explain that?
How is it that as more Americans not only own guns, but over 18.2 million Americans carry them for self defense...our gun murder rate went down 49%.....
How do you explain that?
Your theory doesn't explain any of it..........my explanation explains it completely....
Now, answer the question...
Over the last 27 years, we went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 18.6 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2018...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
Then explain Maine and Brazil...
Maine tops ‘safest states’ rankings four years after removing major gun restriction
When Maine passed a “Constitutional Carry” law allowing Maine residents to carry a concealed firearm without any special permit in 2015, opponents of the law forecast a dangerous future for the state. They said the new law would hurt public safety and put Maine kids at risk.
One state representative who opposed the bill went so far as to say it would give Mainers a reason to be afraid every time they went out in public or to work.
Another state representative suggested the law would lead to violent criminals with recent arrests and convictions legally carrying handguns.
-----
Now four years later, Maine has been named the safest state in the nation according to US News and World Report’s public safety rankings, which measures the fifty states based on crime data.
Ranking as the top safest state for violent crime and fourth for property crime, Maine edges out another New England state, Vermont, for the top spot. Of note, Vermont also is a “Constitutional Carry” state. New Hampshire ranks third in the national rankings, giving New England all three of the top spots in the nation.
In 2018, Maine was edged out by Vermont in the same “safest states” ranking, but declared the best state overall in the broader “Crime and Corrections” category.
In 2017, using a different methodology, Maine was ranked second among the fifty states in the “Crime and Corrections” category and also second in the categories used to rank the “safest states.”
The U.S. News and World Report “Best States” rankings are built in partnership with McKinsey & Company, a firm that works closely with state leaders around the nation.
Maine has also ranked at the top of other state rankings. WalletHub.com recently ranked Maine second in “Personal and Residential Safety” among the fifty states, and third overall.

Bolsonaro's Brazil, More Legal Guns, Homicide Rates Down Precipitously
In December, 2018, in an article published by the Wall Street Journal, this pronouncement was made. From the wsj.com:
Homicides in Brazil were at historic highs in 2017. They dropped a bit in 2018, as candidate Bolsonaro ran on reform of the gun laws to allow self defense, and reform of the law to get tough on crime. The homicide numbers dropped from 59,000 in 2017, to 51,000 in 2018. President Bolsonaro was elected in October of 2018.
After taking office on 1 January, 2019, President Bolsonaro issued his first decree reforming some of Brazil's extreme gun laws on 15 January, 2019. The drop in Brazil's homicide rate accelerated.
-------
Early in the Bolsonaro presidency, a Brazilian lawyer prediceted the homicide rate would drop. From ammoland.com:
The rate reduction was not quite that high. Only 10,000 lives were saved. From wtop.com:
When translated to homicide rates, the rate dropped 17% in 2018, then 23% more in 2019. The population of Brazil in 2019 was 210 million. The rate of homicides per 100,000 was 19.83. That is less than 2/3 of the homicide rate in 2017, which was 30.8.
...Straw buyers dude.
