Exactly, Fennel. They don't make much sense on their own. The other issue is how all Covid-19 deaths were recorded. Obviously anybody in a care home would have had other health issues and, as I'm sure most of us know, death certificates aren't always very comprehensive, especially for the elderly. For example, both my parents had all sorts of things wrong with them when they died, but in neither case did the death certificate actually record what killed them.
In any case, this isn't some kind of competition of league tables. The question should be whether care home deaths could have been prevented and it does seem that many of them could have been.
