Oh, yes. Probably offloading corona patients into care homes "to save hospital capacity" wasn't the best idea. But, as hard to justify as it is, insufficient protection of care facilities accounted for a huge fraction of the deaths in many countries, including but not limited to Sweden, Italy and Spain. On the contrary, in Eastern Europe there were far less deaths because very few of the seniors there live in care homes and can therefore self-isolate more efficiently in their private accommodation.
