TAR 33: (ORIGINAL) Speculation and Discussion of the **SPOILERS** WORKZONE!
Genius:
It's honestly really screwed up if a country just closes its borders or stop flights from entering in a matter of hours. Imagine if, for example, teams are heading to Albania (currently 0 cases) and your flight gets cancelled or redirected. Or all teams are already in Albania and you have problems heading for another country. Or worse, imagine if some teams are forced to be quarantined and the whole season is canned for this year.
I assume everyone's mentally prepared for to this to stretch beyond the typical 21-25 days.
Perhaps the route will feature more countries in Africa, the Pacific and Latin America (but of course, in countries wih adequate healthcare systems). I suppose we will see more countries with double legs, just like TARAUS4.
Declive:
That would be a great time to use Canada or any South American country that's not the center region of Brazil. Just saying...
theschnauzers:
I would strongly suggest consideration of where flights have to be connected to get from Country A to Country B on any future legs. At this point, the WHO has indicated this virus is edging towards a pandemic stage. The main focus has been to contain the transmission of the virus between places, and it’s a fact of life that you can have carriers who may not show symptoms or who have not sought medical attention. And that becomes more so as the CDC confirmed a US case yesterday where the patient had not traveled, and no one that person might have interacted with had not traveled or been exposed to this virus.
The bottom line remains there is not much were know about how this virus gets transmitted especially since it is being seen as a virus that is not an airborne transmitted virus.
I also have a impression that everything we’ve seen so far are substitutions that were not the original plan. (Yes, I mean the start, leg 1 and leg 2 but are better planned replacement legs. It’s just an impression on my part.
HavaDrPepper:
I saw a report today that stated the patient in the unknown origin case in California lived and worked in the Solano County area of California. That is the county that Travis AFB is located which was one of the locations where a plane chartered by the US State Department arrived on February 5.
The patient was in the hospital before being diagnosed and was transferred to another facility on Feb 19. That facility is where it was diagnosed 4 days later.
Suspicious but nothing definitive.
This will be an interesting season to track with all this going on around the world.

I agree about the start. It is possible that the multi-city start was a fairly last minute decision due to some production issues. Or I could be completely wrong lol.
I do think our first legs have been planned for awhile. We should be moving right along!
