Harden up Aussie Princesses!

Reading the newspaper lately you can easily believe that Australia is now the softest nation in the world.

Every article relating to swine flu (particularly in the Herald Sun) contains a ridiculous amount of people complaining that they cannot access Tamiflu. Closer reading of the articles shows most people complaining seem to be about 25-35 and should be among the healthiest people in our nation.

I can't help but feel that we have bought this upon ourselves. We use antibiotics, antibacterial and anti everything, not allowing our bodies to get used to fighting things for themselves. No it seems that I, as a healthy 30 something can demand Tamiflu because I have a cold! I understand if you are in serious risk of dying, but come on!

Harden up Australia! Deal with this by eating right, sleeping right, exercising right. Take responsibility for your own health!
