Amazing Race 15
georgiapeach:
Again, I am not expecting the flu to be a significant factor in the TAR 15 start. It will be shot soon, the route is presumably fixed, and H1N1 has not been especially virulent to this point..
BUT, I do think that given the public health attitiude in Asia just now, that TARA 4 could be affected. And it may be being shot later, and we still don't know what can happen to the flu virus this fall. It could mutate and be a real problem or disappear like so many before.
The "West" is not ignoring this, as I know from my CDC friends. But so far this has been less of as problem than a normal flu season, the virus is responsive to antiviral therapies, so no. There is no panic is all. Concer yes, but not panic, like we are seeing elsewhere.
And I TOTALLY agree abiut Africa! :jumpy: :jumpy:
Moo:
With the spread of flu and various countries taking precautions such as China, Japan and other known to be places, I'm expecting to see more legs in Africa, less legs in Europe (maybe the Baltic states of Latvia and Estonia might be a good place now?), a stop in the Middle East (UAE or Qatar perhaps??) maybe a triple leg in India, going to South East Asia (probably Indonesia now??)
Hopefully, the declaration of the pandemic does not affect our race course... :(
Zatchbellcool:
I sure hope the Race visits Berlin again! I'm moving there.
I'm Kind of excited about possible teams coming to Europe. Every Country is a fairly short Train ride away :D
panda:
I'm imagining the teams are put in Quarantine. [:
DavidJunior:
with the way the flu is spreading, and the general reactions of countries and regions here is a very possible race course:
Leg 1: U.S.A. to Paraguay
Leg 2: Paraguay to Brazil
Leg 3: Brazil
Leg 4: Brazil to Mali
Leg 5: Mali
Leg 6: Mali to Denmark
Leg 7: Denmark to Estonia
Leg 8: Estonia to Latvia
Leg 9: Latvia to Qatar
Leg 10: Qatar to Indonesia
Leg 11: Indonesia
Leg 12: Indonesia to Samoa
Leg 13: Samoa to U.S.A.
i could definitely see a lot of South America, Africa (in comparison to recent seasons), Eastern Europe, and Southern Asia
and i could also see them staying as far away from East Asia as possible, as well as Western Europe and the other North American countries as much as possible
i see them going to a lot more new countries, since most of the regulars will be tough to get to with this Swine Flu scare
