Every so often I come across numbers that shock or cheer me up but I then forget about them.
Anyways here are two numerical facts that might intrigue.
The average Irish daily death toll from all causes is 88 people. So when you hear 6 died from Covid then approximately 82 died from other things deemed less important.
Irish civil aviation is one of the largest globally even in absolute terms. Most jet liners are not actually bought but leased by airlines. 20% of all of all leased planes on the planet are registered in Ireland.
Ryanair which began life as a one plane operation, widely mocked and ridiculed has now beaten the mighty Lufthansa to become Europe's biggest airline in 2019.Naturally Covid is not good news for aviation.
