And they’re not rolling out the vaccine until March

If what I think will happen is true (that they will starting filming around June/July 2021) then I would assume that Australia would be good to go. I see them getting through everyone by June.

But then it'd be winter there and they don't usually go to wintery places unless there's outdoorsy stuff to do like perennial favorite Switzerland. I'd think if they're able to film by Northern Hemisphere summer and it looks like they can get two filmed next year, they'll hold off on Aus until then. NZ has cool wintery stuff to do tho.

Oh yeah, forgot about that, but to be honest I would love a winter Australia visit because it is something different. Also, Australia is English speaking country, so the cold would add some sort of difficulty to it being a similar country to the US.

this isn't even true like 100k people out of 25 million are in lockdown and there were *three* community-transmitted cases yesterday - not only would it be painfully easy just to avoid nsw if for some reason in *six months* we cannot get our community transmission down from three to zero, but an australia visit would also be much safer than basically all other countries listed in that potential route, as they are all seeing covid cases spike, some significantly, other than new zealand and singapore

That’s the tricky part about speculating for it and planning for it. The covid cases can rise out of seemingly nowhere

It seems like this is/was a Europe heavy season and they should be at the vaccination level for herd immunity for the summer. We also know about Indonesia and Vietnam but I don’t see either one of those happening if they’re hoping to shoot by June or July. Mid income countries are looking at another year of this. They’d probably be able to swap them out for a developed Asian country like Japan or SK easily enough tho.
theschnauzers:
One thing that should not be forgotten is the fact that a lot of production and crew also travel with the teams in filming. I iRC, Bertram has said in interviews that it would be impossible to resume filming as long as COVID-19 is a threat in air travel as well as not dealing with the possibility of resurgence of the coronavirus.
Getting vaccine derived immunity widespread enough to give rise to this globally might take all of 2021.
