This will be a short one for me. In going over some of my older phone notes I found this nugget. Assuming my math is right its pretty interesting (I don’t feel like rechecking it on my old smart phone). The links provided. Just by way of clarification as the note might not be that clear, the COVID tracker data set provided daily COVID hospitalizations and COVID deaths up until March 7, 2021. They don’t specify where the deaths took place (in or out of hospital).
The ratio you really need is covid deaths in hospital / covid hospitalizations. Many covid deaths in 2020 occurred in nursing homes/LTCFs. The burnout of that dry tinder could have affected the ratio you measured, but I doubt it could explain all of the excess deaths you've noted.
