i don't think the staff in care homes were as careful as they could have been early on, but who was? The reason it spread so rapidly was because people everywhere were not careful.

We didn't have proper testing early on, how could they possibly know there was a problem with no testing and no symptoms?

Care homes suffered because it was a stuffy, enclosed environment, it was a breeding ground for the virus, the same as any other similar communal area

Blame cannot be attached to single events, it is attached to a catalog of issues that combine to form a large problem, and that's what happened with care homes.
