CNN's Covid-19 dashboard has become a barometer for tracking how it weighs the pandemic against other breaking stories of the moment. The timeline below shows the total seconds of airtime each day since January 1, 2020 it was visible. The dashboard has been displayed up to 9 hours a day since March 20, 2020, but CNN has phased it out during certain major stories like the George Floyd protests, the RNC and DNC conventions and the election. It also phased it out in the weeks leading up to the inauguration but brought it back the day after.
