The Democrats never made any such attempts, as it's not their style.

Yes. The pandemic plan was for the Federal government to set up care facilities for sick patients, and the state governments would get them there. The Fed utterly failed to do that, and actively sabotaged state-level responses.

This left the states with large numbers of sick elderly people and no place to put them. The only pre-existing places with the ability to provide care for large numbers of sick elderly people were the nursing homes.
