The chart above isn’t accurate. It’s not accurate in the sense that by the time it was made on Tuesday evening, the number of cases had already climbed to 994. On Wednesday morning, it’s already at 1,015 … and that will only stand up for a matter of minutes. It’s not possible to make an accurate chart of something that’s moving as fast as the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 within the United States.

Meanwhile, the quotes on the chart don’t begin to cover the reality of the messaging coming out of the White House. There wasn’t room at the top of the chart for the latest message from Donald Trump. As CBS reports, Trump saved his most incongruous, most disconnected-from-reality message for a coronavirus press appearance on Tuesday afternoon.

"It will go away, just stay calm," said Trump. "Be calm. It's really working out. And a lot of good things are going to happen."
