Care homes use a lot of different staff,agency nurses and carers going around different homes,add that to age and state of the residents, they are sitting targets,they had normal amounts of PPE ,everyone in the world wanted ppe,the gov was supposed to helping them but they ended up having to out bid them for supplies,to shift blame into them is a cunts trickDisagree. He was refering to the care home companies themselves - and they DO have a lot to answer for.
When everyone became aware of the issues in care homes at the start of May 38% of English care homes had Covid-19 cases. Since then it has risen to 58% and the average care home with one infection has had 20% of it's residents become ill.
Here's stats on the numbers last week.

What the fuck have care homes been doing? Or should I say, not been doing from May to July? Regular tests were offered to all staff and residents by PHE.
Small privately run homes seem to have avoided the carnage for the most part with Covid-19 cases limited/isolated when they occurred.
It seems to me that the big providers just welcomed Covid-19 in and spread it around. A bit like the Death Race 2000 hospital day.
So yes they do have a lot to answer for.
On testing,it was promised,it wasn't delivered,some were given appts for hundreds of miles away
