DISCUSSION of TAR 33 SUSPENSION DUE TO COVID (may contain location spoilers)
ghostbusted:
Just for information, does anyone recall how TAR production dealt with the SARS and MERS outbreaks in the past?

Just before the race got halted production, the race route for TAR 33 is supposedly starting at United Kingdom 🇬🇧 (England 🏴 and Scotland 🏴) - Sweden 🇸🇪 - Spain 🇪🇸 - South Africa 🇿🇦 - Mozambique 🇲🇿 - Thailand 🇹🇭 - Indonesia 🇮🇩 - Australia 🇦🇺 - Japan 🇯🇵; a 5-continent race as planned. No new countries (TAR 21, 22, 23, 24 and 29), just some countries would be undervisited as they visited in TAR one to two times.
Whether the 33rd race would be going back to production by late March or early April, the route will be modified from the initial eastbound route in England and Scotland, and through into the westerly route from Oceania and to the penultimate leg in Europe.

This is false.
This is Claude posting opinions as facts again.

I genuinely dislike when this keeps coming up. Speculation is one thing, but it impresses no one to repeatedly 'inform people' with a fake, unconfirmed route or, in other channels, to spoil it in advance.

The SARS outbreak was at a peak in 2003-- they filmed TAR4 in winter of that year. They didn't go to South China, Hong Kong, or Toronto, where the most prominent outbreaks were. Simple as that.
Coronavirus only leaned into the pandemic stage in the past week or two, and it probably made sense to start production, especially with early countries not being affected quite yet, instead of postponing for the cast, crew, and logistics that were probably already fully-booked.

This was my decision with support from the Detective team.
The reason is this: Production said in their post that there may be a CHANCE that this race can continue. If that is the case how could we possibly have full info on their castmates that they might not know? If the route were to remain the same how could we have leg info?
I made this call almost immediately on seeing the news.
Once it seems calmer hope I can get some feedback that will tell us how best to proceed. Meanwhile we'll hold the info safely.
And those of you who know how much I personally love TAR know that this is heartbreaking for me and indeed of all of us who love the show.
Thanks for the well written summaries Mangoes! And the Schnauzers for the coronavirus updates.
It happens that I have a very broad medical background..and am in a position to read and understand the medical implications.
Based on what we know this was 1000% the right call. This isn't a bad cold or a mild flu. It has the potential to escalate and cause havoc and serious loss of life around the world. NOT continuing the race has my full support and I understand completely.
Sure doesn't mean that I am not devastated for the teams, the crew, and our wonderful Producers and even RFF too.
We need to be also aware that this has the potential to affect upcoming filming of Survivor, two new Disney/Profiles shows (The Quest) and many others.
For now the RIGHT thing is to protect LIVES first. Shows are a distant second.
I suggest a good read of the latest WHO (World Health Organization) updates to stay firmly on top of this. The current US admin is NOT your best source of info. Just saying.
