I'd think that residents of a nursing home would be among the most medically fragile people, many with lung or cardiac issues, many relatively immobile or bedridden (making lung issues even harder to clear) -- I'd be surprised if a group like this didn't have a higher than average mortality. And, there seems to be evidence that there are multiple strains out there -- perhaps the nursing home residents were exposed to the one that seems to cause more severe clinical issues.
