So it looks like the fatality rate is even higher for patients in nursing homes than in the broader population.
How much higher? If you assume 2x then you basically need to assume that 50% of all nursing home patients got it. Seems too high.

No not really. Prevalence has gotten that high in a number of close confinement hot spots.

For *any* given age, a person in a nursing home will be of worse health than their peers who aren't in nursing homes. If they were still capable of unassisted living, they'd not be in nursing homes. It doesn't seem at all outlandish that even 75% of patients would be exposed.
