So, 10,000 people will arrive per day and be required to take 3 PCR tests which each have a 1/200 false positive rate. That's 1/67 due to having to take 3 tests. So, statistically, of those travelers, 150 will get a false positive during their 14-day sandbox adventure. Can the local hospitals handle 150 admissions every day for 2-week mandatory hospital stays? That would be about 4,500 per month. 

Imagine that how would they spin that one?

How big are these airplanes??? 10.000 a day in 5 flights...???? 2000 a flight??

An A380 can carry a maximum of 853 passengers, so a minimum of 12 flights required at almost full capacity.

 

I have my doubts.....

He said that 100,000 tourists would be visiting Phuket in July to September.

 

That's just over 1,000 a day.

 

And, claimed the TAT chief, they will be spending a total of 8.9 billion baht.

Yee Haa, the cash cow is back.

I am sorry JCP108 but I think you have got your statistics wrong. The topic is called Conditional Probability, and it works such that, if there is a 1:200 risk that the test result is incorrect, when you do three tests there is only a 1:200x200x200 risk that all three are wrong. That is one in eight million, which is a pretty low risk.

Seems like the headline of 10,000 daily tourists have been scaled down to 1,000, which better fits with the predicted 129,000 tourists in three months. However, is 1,000 tourists a day the seat capacity or actual bookings...????
