I think the "theory" being referred to is

> it had nothing to do with regular people eating at restaurants and everything to do with the protocol at those specific places

Also if we're going to be pedantic, we should be consistently pedantic:

> 50% of all COVID deaths were in nursing homes

that article actually says under 50% and it's from December 2020.

Nothing in this comment contradicts what I've said, majority of deaths were at nursing homes and better protocols would've helped them.

Still haven't addressed my point about Belgium having more restrictive lockdowns and a higher excess mortality. I guess being pedantic is easier.

You can't both be pedantic and then attack the other person for being pedantic and expect to get anywhere. Also "Just under half" is not a majority, which is actually an important distinction considering the angle your argument takes (that is - downplaying the impact on other demographics).
