    It seemed quite clear at the time that the decision to force (untested) people out of hospitals and into care homes was a decision made because the government wanted hospital capacity freed up, & considered the lives of care home residents a reasonable price to pay for genpop capacity.

    Not a nice decision. And one that could have been avoided entirely if the gov hadn’t botched pandemic preparedness, and then prevaricated to the point of disaster when a pandemic actually arrived.
