I definitely think that care home situations vary from localised area to localised area, state to state, rather than necessarily from country to country.
Melbourne has an appalling care home death rate, yet NSW and Qld who have plenty enough active cases have managed to mostly protect their care home residents. Their staffing would have been similar, as it is common here for casual care home aids to work at multiple places.
As well, many retirees move from places like Melbourne up to Qld or other warmer places when they retire.
I think they do, too. But it's not just care homes. It's elderly, obese, diabetic. I have a feeling the US statistics showing 94% of our deaths being what i refer to as medically fragile will bear out worldwide when all is said and done. JMO
