Uncomfortable being in the U.K., wish I could go back to ROI

Just that. Watched Dr John Campbell's latest post (m.youtube.com/watch?v=WOSwYGhmnwo&t=214s) and the numbers have really scared me. 2.25m critical over the next year, and 5.4m requiring medical support of some kind, 'no healthcare system in the world can cope with those kinds of numbers' and already medical staff are being given surgical masks, gloves and plastic aprons as PPE, so essentially no protection at all, god love them.

I don't want to be here with such an irresponsible government in power. I'd pack up DH, toddler DS and my laptop and go back to ROI (and straight into isolation of course), but it's not even possible, even if it was remotely practical.

I know this is completely irrational, but I somehow feel like home (Ireland) = 'safe', and the U.K. is currently not at all safe. I've been here for ten years and had a baby here and never felt like this before. Anyone else originally from another country feel a bit, I don't know, stranded?
