Deaths in nursing homes account for a whopping 81 percent of Canada’s coronavirus fatalities, a report says.

The startling statistic – which is attributed to Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam – is nearly double the rate of that in the U.S., according to The Washington Post.

“We shouldn’t have soldiers taking care of seniors,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reportedly said last month, after the country’s military was deployed to help hard-hit facilities in Ontario and Quebec. “In the weeks and months to come, we will all have to ask tough questions about how it came to this.”
