"The Bachelorette" suspended production on Season 16 featuring new lead Clare Crawley in March as the coronavirus outbreak spread around the world.
Now, the reality TV dating series is tentatively eyeing a fall premiere date, but the show will look very different when it does air.
According to Variety, if production gets the green light to start filming, the show known for flying its contestants around the globe for luxury dates will be "forced to shoot domestically" and "within the confines of a quarantined location."
'BACHELOR' SPINOFF 'SUMMER GAMES' SHELVED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK
“Clare’s season is happening one hundred percent,” ABC’s reality chief Rob Mills confirmed to Variety. But the when is still iffy.
“As of right now, the plan is to get a great location that has a ton of space where everybody could safely be together and we can still have great dates that still feel big and romantic, and we would shoot the entire season there," he said.
Variety reported that if shooting were to begin, all contestants and crew members would be tested before stepping onto the set and would remain "quarantined on-site for the duration of the season’s shoot."
ABC is also exploring the possibility of doing road trips to different states -- but since travel circumstances are still up in the air and vary state to state, nothing can be set into motion right now.
TV SHOWS, MOVIES AFFECTED BY CORONAVIRUS
“We’ve looked at everything -- are travel restrictions going to ease up? And it just doesn’t look like anything is changing any time soon, and what we would rather do is start getting the season underway, sooner rather than later,” Mills said.
Longtime host Chris Harrison said all ideas are being explored and nothing is for certain.
“It would be crazy for us to say that we know what anything is going to look like -- not even television, I’m just talking the world in general,” Harrison told the publication. “We don’t know when we come out of this, what it’s going to look like as far as getting back to social distancing, can you get 10 people in a control room? Can you get 20 people in a control room? How are we going to shoot this safely?”
He is grateful, though, if booting up the show can provide jobs for many out-of-work staffers.

Ivanka Trump, Sid Rosenberg, Erik Prince, Raymond Ibrahim, Jeh Johnson, Kevin McAleenan and countless others “disinvited” to speak on college campuses.
Wonder where today’s “cancel culture” comes from? It comes from college campuses, fueled by young people and abetted by an older generation that has not had the courage to say no.

We’re not there yet, but we’re on our way.
Over the past several decades, our schools have become incubators for the progressive Left. Liberal professors have taught millennials and younger generations that our country was founded on a lie and that our free enterprise system is “rigged”; just as damaging, they have ignored the great achievements of this nation – achievements like the liberation of Europe from Nazism that we used to celebrate.
This is not new, but now another, more alarming, trend has emerged.
More destructive than the liberal curriculums of our schools has been the growing intolerance on campuses, and the tendency to put the kids in charge. As Robert Zimmer, the president of the University of Chicago, wrote in 2016:

Most disturbing, as he points out: “In many cases, these efforts have been supported by university administrators.”
A poll in 2018 showed that a majority of students (56 percent) supported freedom of speech, but shockingly also said that “promoting a diverse and inclusive society” was more important than the First Amendment. Imagine.

Did anyone check the back for a delivery of Double Gloucester?
A driver in England wrecked his van on Saturday after blindly following it down a famous hill.
The man took a wrong turn off the road and onto Cooper’s Hill near Gloucester, where an annual event is held that involves people chasing a wheel of cheese down a steep grassy slope, Southwest News Service reported.
"Please remember to use common sense when following a Sat-Nav,” local police posted to Twitter. Sometimes they don't always give you the most appropriate route as demonstrated by this van on Coopers Hill which got stuck and almost rolled down the hill!"
No injuries were reported, which can’t usually be said of the May cheese rolling event that was canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Real estate entrepreneur Don Peebles predicted on "Your World" Monday that New York City-based companies are likely to reduce brick-and-mortar office space in favor of remote working, dealing a further blow to a market reeling from the coronavirus pandemic.
"Office space consumption was already on the decline," Peebles told host Neil Cavuto.
CORONAVIRUS LEADS TO NYC REAL ESTATE POUNDING
"What happened with COVID-19 is, it accelerated nationally ... because it compelled most Americans, certainly office workers, to work remotely. What business owners, entrepreneurs, and CEOs found out is that it was an effective way to work."
Approximately 300,000 New Yorkers returned to work Monday as the city moved to Phase 2 of its reopening strategy, but Peebles said it would be only a matter of time before employees see a "significant decline" in office space.
"Now people can work from all over the world and they don't have to be in the same geographic location of where their job is located," he explained. "That will open up [a] greater talent pool for businesses to make it more cost-effective.
"I think that there is a difference coming and the CEOs who are questioning that are right on point," he added.

The U.S. Navy is now operating three aircraft carriers in the Pacific in what appears to be a strong show of force following Chinese movements and comments regarding Taiwan and the South China Sea .

The U.S. Navy is now operating three aircraft carriers in the Pacific in what appears to be a strong show of force following Chinese movements and comments regarding Taiwan and the South China Sea.
The move, which includes the USS Theodore Roosevelt, USS Nimitz and USS Ronald Reagan, brings an unusually strong U.S. presence. This kind of message has not been seen in recent years, and it signals the fast-increasing significance of U.S. deterrence efforts regarding China. A report in the International Business Times states that a three-carrier mission has not happened in about three years. The development clearly seems to relate to recently increasing tensions between the U.S. and China regarding the coronavirus pandemic and Chinese maritime maneuvers regarding Taiwan and the South China Sea.
Chinese officials, according to a report in Beijing’s Global Times newspaper, cited China’s strong opposition to the movements, saying “China could counter it by holding military drills and showing its ability and determination to safeguard its territorial integrity.”
The Global Times, a Chinese-backed paper, also makes specific reference to China’s well known “carrier killer” DF-21D and DF-26 anti-ship missiles. Much has been discussed regarding these weapons, as they are regularly reported to operate with a range of 900 miles, a distance which some say could force U.S. carriers to operate at much farther standoff ranges. However, while there is possibly not very much known about the technical maturity and guidance systems of these weapons, Navy leaders have been clear that its carriers will operate “anywhere” needed in international waters.
NAVY 'MOVES-OUT' ON OPERATING 11 AIRCRAFT CARRIERS
This kind of scenario regularly invites debates, speculation and strategic discussion regarding the sustained functional utility of aircraft carriers. Navy studies consistently explore alternative configurations for future carriers to follow the first three or four Ford-class ships now in development. Perhaps the service will engineer smaller, faster, more agile carriers or continue to expand the use of carrier-launched drones with greater ranges.
At the same time, carriers are unlikely to go anywhere anytime soon for a number of reasons.
First, the reported range of these kinds of Chinese carrier killer missiles does not present as serious of a threat to closer-in carriers unless it has precision-guidance systems and an ability to hit moving targets. Also, while much is naturally not discussed for understandable security reasons, the U.S. Navy continues to rapidly advance new technologies improving its layered ship defense systems. Carriers regularly travel in strike groups, meaning they are defended by destroyers, cruisers and various airborne surveillance and attack assets.
Second, the Navy continues to make rapid strides arming its surface ships with new laser weapons and advanced EW systems likely to “jam” incoming missiles, stopping them, destroying their trajectory, or simply throwing them off course.
Furthermore, the Navy’s layered defense system not only includes new longer-range aerial, space and ship-based sensors, but deck-fired interceptors continue to receive software upgrades, making them far more accurate. For instance, the Navy’s SM-6 missiles and Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile Block II are now engineered with software and sensor upgrades that enable them to better discern and destroy approaching “moving targets.” SM-6 technical upgrades, for example, engineer a “dual-mode” seeker into the weapon itself, which enables it to better distinguish moving targets and adjust in flight to destroy them.

NAVY MAY ARM NEW DESTROYER WITH CONVENTIONAL MISSILE ABLE TO HIT ANYWHERE ON EARTH IN AN HOUR
New aerial sensors as well, such as advanced drones and the ISR-capable F-35C are likely to be successful in proving an “aerial node” surveillance asset able to help cue surface commanders of approaching missiles. They would also help ships attack and, in some instances, intercept or destroy an approaching anti-ship missile from the air. In fact, this very capability is already deployed by U.S. Navy destroyers; it is called Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air. This is a system that uses an aerial node such as a Hawkeye surveillance plane or even F-35 to detect approaching threats from beyond the horizon, network with ship-based command and control, and enable a well-guided SM-6 interceptor missile to take out the approaching missile at long ranges.
