TAR 33 ORIGINAL PRE-RACE Speculation (dates/cast/routes)
TARUSAFan:
Here's to hoping we have a balanced diverse cast.
Oliveira:
Wouldn't this season air in 20th year anniversary? Can't we get an all winners cast too? :)x :)x
Kiwi Jay:
Personally, I am praying for a few older cast members. And by older, I mean 45+ because that diversity is severely lacking. We have diversity of ethnicity and background. But where are our older teams? Where are our teams that are not as physically adept?

I'd love an all-winners edition of TAR. It's the show that would be best suited for it tbh.

Not mentioning Mainland China, but Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore all have quite large amount of cases already

I think Asia might take a big hit in the way that we might only get a couple of legs this season. We could theoretically avoid China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore, but these are all home to some of the biggest airports in East Asia. Even if the race wanted to visit somewhere in Asia where there has been no reports of virus - maybe Bhutan or Brunei - they would eventually have to connect through a major airport like Changhi or Narita or something like that. And airports are where these viruses catch their flights around the world.
For example, if we just focus on East and Southeast Asia, there are suspected cases (but not confirmed) in Indonesia, Myanmar and Bangladesh, and no cases (suspected, confirmed or otherwise) in East Timor, Brunei, Laos and Bhutan. Every other country has had a confirmed case.
Now, granted, not every country has been hit as hard as China. India, for example, only has 3 cases, and they are all confined to the state of Kerala. Similarly, only one case has been confirmed in Sri Lanka, in Colombo. So, even for countries where there are confirmed cases, the other parts of the country aren't eliminated completely.
Nevertheless, I could foresee producers skipping over giant swaths of Asia just to be safe.

They cannot make connections in Hong Kong and China, maybe Singapore/Japan/SK
As most of the US Airlines have cancelled the flights to HK and China
The only Asia country still available is Taiwan/Philippines at this point
