> there is a staggering 22% positivity rate in Tokyo today

Do you mind citing your source? A quick search got me a 3.3% positivity rate [0] as of today.

Sure, same source as original article: https://japantoday.com/category/national/Tokyo-reports-340-c...

However, I just saw that the rate is for the whole country, not for Tokyo alone.


Even with the link, I am confused about where the 22% came from...


Control+F —> 22 yields this comment on the article:

“1,551 tests, 340 cases = 22% positivity rate

Apply it to the whole nation and you have theorically 28 millions people infected.”
