A data visualisation tracking COVID-19 deaths. Each airplane represents 366 people - the seating capacity of a Boeing 747 airplane. The pandemic has claimed 3.12 million as of 27 April 2021 (Source: Wikipedia). That's 8524 airplanes, and the death toll continues to mount. Each day, well over 10,000 people die from of this pandemic - that's more than one jumbo jet every hour.
