LATEST MAP

Maanca:
Probably, will be interesting how TAR33's route works around this. China, Thailand, Japan, Vietnam. Those are all like their favorite Asian haunts to start/end routes with. Especially China.

Logistical convenience with the US.

BourkieBoy:
Well, I think we can certainly count out all of China. Too much of a risk sadly! As for other SE Asian countries, I think production might use the ‘better safe than sorry’ statement?

I wonder if TAR33 filming could possibly be delayed because of coronavirus! Production might need to make some new replacement legs, if they deem certain countries too unsafe to travel to, do to coronavirus!

Xoruz:
It will affect their legs in Asia but probably not as bad as TAR 15 with swine flu. The cases that have occurred outside of China are due to people traveling from Wuhan. Coronavirus is actually a common virus, but it's just this one strain in China that has caused this outbreak. Still, the problem with coronavirus is that people can be asymptomatic but still contagious, so China will most certainly be off the map this year if it wasn't already, even airport connections.

TARUSAFan:
They could skip Asia which could be first for TAR US
