Personally, I'm not complaining since he is essentially focused on his strength, and that is to keep the economy in tact through this crisis, but I'd recommend he just defer health and personal livelihood expectations to the medical experts.

Uhhh.. yes it's the President's job to keep the American people calm and focused... and in a pandemic where he has extended the self-isolation until the end of April... hope is a pretty important component of that.

LBJ was part of the problem in Vietnam.. our soldiers never lost a battle but our politicians lost the war.

1) I don't think you understood my post regarding the end of April.  I agree with that assessment.

2) SERIOUSLY ?  WE NEVER LOST A BATTLE IN VIETNAM ?  You gotta be kidding me.  We lost plenty of battles in Vietnam, primarily as a result of being outnumbered and not being aware of jungle tactics.  We can save that discussion for another thread.
