Everyone agrees that the situation in care homes at the start of the pandemic greatly increased the death toll and at best was misguided.
But Johnson was wrong to single them out for being solely to blame. The health professionals who were coming to see people in Homes were untested themselves, and for a long time didn’t have PPE. Once introduced to a Home by visitors, the virus devastated the elderly guests there.
The Care Home owners couldn’t deny doctors and nurses from their Homes, so the criticism by Boris was an act of misdirectIon. The Government were ultimately responsible for providing PPE to NHS workers, but they failed to do so.
Johnson is unlikely to apologise to the Care Home Owners, because the slight was deliberate and not an error.

What a lefty love in.
So privately run businesses are the responsibility of the Government now then. Rolls eyes.
Boris has nothing to apologise for. My daughter works in one, they were caught with their trousers down with no PPE although they should have had it for normal practice.
Still, why let facts get in the way of a Boris bash.

He has nothing to apologise for, its not like they were government owned or managed. These Care homes run a bargain basement service -even the expensive ones. The 'healthcare professionals' often consist of one trained nurse for the whole home plus uneducated and untrained 'carers' who are one stage up from a cleaner. The rich owners are now complaining and blaming the government when they should be taking stock of why they were caught with no procedures in place. They say they had no PPE well hello they should have this in stock at all times. What about patients who have transmittable diseases like Gastro Enteritis or the good old 'Flu'?
