James Bond won’t return to theaters as scheduled. The Amazing Race<\/em> was halted. The Bachelorette<\/em> will stay home. And there are concerns about the fate of the 2020 Summer Olympics and even\u2014wait for it\u2014Coachella…all because of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

In less than three months, more than 3,300 people have died from the potentially deadly virus, mostly in China, where the outbreak originated. At least 97,000 people have been infected in more than 85 countries, as of Thursday, March 5. In the United States, the death toll rose to 11 on Wednesday, with new cases reported in New York and Los Angeles, where most celebrities live.<\/p>\n

With no cure or vaccine and a rapidly rising death toll and number of reported cases, the outbreak has caused worldwide panic. It has caused sticks to plummet, governments to bar foreigners from highly impacted nations from entering their borders and place returning citizens under quarantine\u2014mainly at home, local municipalities to cancel large public events, airlines to cut flights and millions of people to flock to stores to buy all their available hand sanitizers, face masks and even bottled water and toilet paper.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Due to increased concerns and uncertainty regarding the coronavirus around the world, CBS and the producers of The Amazing Race<\/em> have taken the precautionary measure of temporarily suspending production on the 33rd season of the series,” a CBS spokesperson said in a statement<\/a> in late February. “All contestants and production staff are in the process of returning home.”<\/p>\n

“At this time, no Racers or anyone on the production team traveling with them have contracted the virus, or shown symptoms, and we are not aware of anyone being exposed to it,” the statement continued. “Out of an abundance of caution, everyone involved in the show will continue to be monitored when they return home. The health and well-being of the Racers and the production team are our top priorities.””<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
