You mean where it says out of 38 million cases, only a handful dozen were reinfections, which is a very low rate (0.000126%) which seems very good to me. Another CNN article cites an un peer reviewed study that had immunity lasting longer than 6 months. So I would be very careful with your words. Thank you!

I read multiple news feeds from different sources available to me on a continuing basis. So that item alone would have been one among many. If I was relying on a single source I would have posted a link if feasible. The questions about reinfection and the amount of time one might get immunity via prior infection, or via a vaccine is not settled. It isn't safe to assume how much time it lasts through either mode. Comparison to other illnesses cased by viruses and other types of coronaviruses (e.g., the common cold or influenza) isn't always useful.

The only thing that makes it seem unlikely to me is, why they would have three legs in a row back-to-back-to-back all in the same region, especially coming off the heels of TAR32 where they just did a different country for every single leg? Going from TAR32 every leg = a different country to TAR33 = three legs in a row all in the United Kingdom just seems... strange. But regardless, I still do hope it was three filmed.

I think at least 1 of these 3 UK legs can be replacement leg for leg cancelled because of Covid.
It's strange though. The only time we had 3 full legs in same country was China in TAR14.

And even then, one of them was a superleg so it was technically only two legs. At least it’s one England leg and two Scotland legs, so it’ll at least feel like two different countries. I’m sure they scrambled and made a second Glasgow leg after they saw countries beginning to pull out

Wikipedia actually is now counting England, Scotland, and Wales as different countries. So for example TAR31, instead of, Leg 11 (Netherlands --> United Kingdom), it is now, Leg 11 (Netherlands --> England). Just a fun fact! :)x

I agree with theschnauzers on this issue. Locally, I know of at least 1 person that was reinfected. First time he had very mild symptoms. Second time the symptoms were much worse. First infection in late April, 2nd infection in early October. I also personally know individuals that have had it. My neighbor across the street and his wife being 2 of them. Their info from our local health department says they should be immune for 4 months. 2 friends that live in a small town just 7 miles from me that is located in a different county had it as well. Their health department is telling them 3 months.
So even those "in the know" differ on how long immunity lasts. IMO it will be a long time before this is settled even with the vaccines becoming available.

I'm thinking they won't be filming before at LEAST fall 2021, and even then it will be only in countries where more than half the population is vaccinated, and the whole cast and crew as well.
If they continue after the 3 legs that they already have, I'm expecting some legs in countries that are more safe (Australia and New Zealand would work well now, but would depend of the restriction coming in. Two legs in Canada would work also, like one in Québec city to be a bit foreign, and maybe one in Atlantic Canada or Vancouver).
