As the Swine Flu death toll continues to climb, the World Health Organization has raised its alert to its second highest level, a first for the WHO.

Even with travel warnings and even as the possibility of pandemic looms, the Entertainment Software Association is confident about this year's E3.

"The 2009 E3 Expo is progressing as planned. Public health officials are taking all appropriate steps and we continue to follow their direction on all measures," ESA spokesman Dan Hewitt told game blog Joystiq. "We look forward to a great event, and to seeing you in Los Angeles in June."
