Pre TAR15 Discussion
georgiapeach:
If it was me, I would probably look more towards late June, G-Man....
I am also seeing quite a bit of "chatter" about TAR: Latin America popping up and I believe they also have an airing date in September, so I expect that we may well have some Team sightings of that as well. Kind of like we kept stumbling across the Israel race last summer?
I agree that parts of SA are unlikely to be visited by our race this season though, due to the HN1 flu.

Will TAR: Latin America be pushing through as well despite the HN1 flu? For safety reasons too, I THINK THAT TPTB will require vaccines that must be given to TAR Racers, Phil, Staff and Crew, and Executives first before they get to leave the United States... I guess if we can hear that vaccines are available and confirmed, we can be able to corner our dates of filming as well right?
Then again, I'm just guessing... but WRP and TPTB takes care of them very well...

Mooyou,
I could be out dated in this, but the last I heard there was no vaccine yet for the H1N1 virus.
Anyway, I can see no reason to avoid all of Latin America for a problem that is mostly in Mexico and the U.S. at this time.

I spoke to someone from CDC about this last week. So far the flu is not thought to be as virulent as first thought, so the risk may be actually dropping. That is not to say that there could not be an resurgence later this season.
The decision on whether to make and stockpile vaccine is still under discussion, so if it is not yet available to the general public, it will certainly not be any kind of a requirement for TAR. There is no vaccine as of yet.
I personally do NOT think that HN1 is going to affect our race much, if at all...other than the common sense precautions of avoiding areas with current outbreaks.
Neobie:
Peach, you're best with the medical stuff - would/should TAR avoid the US? I mean, it's the second worst-hit country in the entire world, no? :groan:
Translation: Even if the schedule is green-lighted, would the filming of TAR 15 be held back because of the flu? I mean, to avoid being caught on a plane with someone sick and ending up being quarantined somewhere...
(I remember how the US treated the rest of the world like **** during SARS.)
