BCram,
I used to think that care homes were the same as nursing homes and it was only a couple of months before my father had to go into a nursing home that I discovered that there is a big difference.
People who are resident in a nursing home require nursing care whilst this not the case in a care home who residents are often able to out of the care home for a walk unaided.
In my opinion residents of a care home who showed signs of Covid-19 should have been immediately transferred to a hospital for treatment.
