"The 'Kwarantined Crab' [sic] centers on a virus storyline, so we have decided to not air it due to sensitivities surrounding the global, real-world pandemic," a representative from Nickelodeon said in a statement to IGN.

That's retarded.

"Kwarantined Krab" features the return of the Health Inspector to the Krusty Krab. The inspector finds a case of "Clam Flu" in the restaurant and quarantines all patrons inside. The characters immediately begin distrusting each other, and anybody assumed to have the virus is shunned and thrown in the freezer.

So does the joke end up being that there was no clam flu/they weren't ever in any actual danger? Because then I might understand why they wouldn't want kids seeing that and potentially realizing how close the real life situation is to that.
