The scandal seems to be they infected care homes and the staff didn't have the training or resources to cope. But then I would say is you shouldn't have been returning people to healthy carehomes, they should have been completely isolated.
I don't think you can compare carehome death stats to hospital stats as they are not logically equivalent samples. A care home has a high population of old people with nothing special about them. A hospital has a high population of people who are struggling badly with CoVid and need care.
