But that would distort the risk for "people over 80", wouldn't it? Like if you are in a nursing home, the risk is probably higher than average for that age group, if you are not, the risk is lower than average.

Those statistics all have to be taken with a grain of salt. Like if it says "x% of some population will die from some thing", it could mean "x% in the population tend to be reckless" (like "x% of people under 30 will die from base jumping", but it is easy to avoid by not doing base jumping).
In the case of Covid, perhaps not living in an old people's home (in March) could improve your odds by a lot.
