Okinawa tests way more per capita than Tokyo, both before and after (and even during) GW. (average daily testing now is about 1 test per 450 people in Okinawa, but 1 test per 1,200 people in Tokyo).

And when the positive rate is around 40-50% or more (as it has been for both places), then the more you test, the more you find.
