My recollection is that it was down-ramping of retirement villages in general as being a more risky place (in epidemics) for independent unit living by the elderly, as opposed to living in homes in the community.
My opinion based on from what I have heard, is that Whether in lockdown or not, the elderly in retirement villages have more facilities and village security measures to insure social distancing is possible.
I think the pivotal moment when down-ramping stopped was when the opportunity arose for purchase of shares at sufficiently deflated prices. Those purchasers may then have suddenly decided that would not give voice to their opinions that villages were more unsafe for the elderly than living outside of a retirement village.
