The share of excess deaths in care homes during the pandemic has been 44% and the share of deaths of care home residents is 52% of all excess deaths. Also, in France, deaths in care homes are 34% of all COVID-19 deaths, whereas deaths of care home residents are 51%. That's from May. Since then we discharged a bunch of people from hospital to care and nursing homes, without testing whether they had covid-19 or not.
