Well for one thing, I doubt most of the Square people are extremely old or young people, or people with chronic diseases. Only those people are that vulnerable to swine flu.

I love how the Japanese are more paranoid about swine flu than we are.

USA-based companies are restricting travel to Mexico (obviously not to USA :P):

According to Joystiq, the Kingdom Hearts III got hit so will not be attending E3.

 

    link?

   But even without KH3, there were supposed to be 3 SE new game announcements, including the new MMO. So this news are very dissapointing indeed.

I'm thinking it was a joke. x.o

 

 

 Uh, then I guess I didnt get it.

the joke was that kingdom hearts III got hit by the swine flu so it won't be attending e3.

 

It wasn't a joke.  The link is below
