I've never been to a con myself, but a hefty chunk of my friends have and they've all gotten one form of flu or another afterward (it's certainly not a surprise considering the environment). If I ever attend a con I'll be sure to have a bandoleer filled with bottles of Purel, lol.
I don't know why people are making a big deal out of this. When you get a gathering of that many people, diseases are going to get spread. And the disease of the moment is swine flu. I'd have been surprised if there weren't any cases from PAX.
These conventions, as great as they are, are a huge source of disease. Think about all the used controllers, small spaces, sanitation throughout and the general huge masses of people. Swine flu is not a big deal; diseases were going to be spread no matter what.
Brad even has a status update on the front page saying that he's sick. And Jeff had a headache or something like that. People been getting sick left and right though. Are you sure it was actual Swine flu?? Either way, it's just normal flu basically... hope everyone get's better who gets it. :)

Daves master plan of taking over GB has started. Now, everyone is too weak to fight back, next, the entire gaming industry is being run by CAPTAIN CRUSADER!
Hahaha, all the dudes at the Capcom team developing Dead Rising 2 are probably laughing their asses of. Incidentally, I was following my twitter page and Jeff has been posting a few tweets that he is getting sick. Maybe this is the end of Gertsmann?
There is only one of Swing Flu case confirmed, so no one knows if every single person with flu symptoms has that or some other form of flu. They're just saying because there was one guy there who had it, watch out you might have been in touch with him.
" Who cares...........? It's only a big deal if you make it a big deal. "A man has a cold in New York City, whole city is locked down" "
Yeah people are really only freaking out because it's a virus that hasn't been around too long.
Everyone just needs to remember to take simple precautions (i.e. wash hands, cover your coughs, watch for symptoms etc). The majority of the affected do not even need to be hospitalized, just stay home if you're sick.
