TAR 33 ORIGINAL PRE-RACE Speculation (dates/cast/routes)
theschnauzers:
No one is yet certain of the long term efficacy of the different COVID-19 vaccines, individually or collectively.. They’re using medically modeling and genetic sequencing of literally hundreds of thousands of samples. The one issue that has rather spectacularly emerged is the variants and mutations that continue to emerge, and the possiblity that the various vaccines may not prove fully effective against some of them.

even though would be safer to just avoid USA at this point LOL!

Elsie Doganieri and Bertram said in an interview back in December that a domestic season isn't going to happen (although anything can change tbh)

Another question is whether they’d visit counties using the Chinese and Russian vaccines. The UAE is only behind Israel in per capita but they’re using the Chinese one. There’s still not a lot of data available about it. The show goes to the UAE a lot too. The Russian vaccine has some good data come out about it but the Chinese one remains a mystery. Then again, if they’re able to get filming done some time this year, the data might be published.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Israel gets its first visit both due to their vaccination success and that they’ve established relationships with more countries of late which makes traveling there easier.

Yeah, honestly doing a domestic only version would actually probably be far riskier at this point as opposed to pinpointing countries that have it under control. I’m hopeful that maybe within the next six months they can start filming back up but time will tell.

IMO whether or not they can film this year will be dependent on if/when it becomes clear that the shots really do slow down or stop transmission. Things are looking good so far but more data time is needed. Some countries are already lifting travel restrictions if you can prove you’re vaccinated but this show takes a small army to film so I don’t imagine everyone involved will be vaccinated before the summer.
