TAR 33 ORIGINAL PRE-RACE Speculation (dates/cast/routes)
Brannockdevice:
For those members who have been watching for a long time - what did TAR do in 2003 and 2009 with the outbreaks of SARS and Swine Flu, respectively? This might shed some light on how they might film with Coronavirus

Scratched everything I had typed out. TAR15 was the one filming during the heavy moments of H1N1.
I found the TAR15 application and here is a quote they have word-for-word. I believe this has been on every Race application since its inception though:
--- Quote ---Participants must be willing to receive all needed immunizations that the Producers
deem to be necessary and medically appropriate to the race. Teams must agree to take
any medications needed to prevent illness in certain foreign countries.
--- End quote ---
I'm assuming they monitored the situation prior to the race.

TAR15 supposedly had a few locations revamped due to swine flu - South Korea and Ghana later appeared on 17 and Brazil on 18. The replacements were reportedly a mix of Japan/Sweden/Netherlands, but I don't know if this ever got confirmed. There was also mention of a replaced Balkans leg, but I don't think that ever resurfaced.
Funnily enough 29 went to Brazil right around the time of the Zika virus, I recall finding them turning up there pretty surprising.
I'd hope that since we've been in a filming lull for a year that WRP should have some spare legs up their sleeve to use to replace any regions at risk due to Coronavirus.

At least some countries are prevented with nCov Corona Virus, Australia it seems fine and safe there.

A large part of Asian countries have to be avoided because of the virus incident
Not mentioning Mainland China, but Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore all have quite large amount of cases already
