I'm surprised my flight to TFS on 27th March not yet cancelled - there's not much chance of being allowed to go is there?

Being allowed vs BA flight schedule are mutually exclusive. That said, March is still some way off so there is still a chance of cancellation.

My flights to SCL in F booked for early-March have just been cancelled. I got these during the 50% Avios sale so am glad I can reschedule to any date now at least.

Also had my flights to DXB in J for early-March cancelled too. This was a cash fare so will just ask for a refund.

My 13/3 HKG outbound flight just been cancelled. Looks like BA cancelled all HKG outbound till 15/3, inbound still available.

My return flight ANU-LGW cancelled on the 20th of March. Expected it to happen. Disappointing as I was going to visit my family. Oh well. It is what it is.

LGW-CUN on 20th March just cancelled. Not sure what the alternatives are - I mean, I'm assuming we won't get to go but it's been nice to dream!

There's been some thinning out of flights to TFS late March but mine not cancelled yet and its got high loads too, surely it won't run?

28 March and onwards is not adjusted yet.
By the way, as the EU introduced a 50/50 slot usage requirement for this summer, BA might actually fly to TFS to not lose their slots over there. It's too early to say something precise.

LHR-SOF 3rd March cancelled. It was the positioning flight for my May SOF-LAX TP run that was cancelled a few weeks ago. I switched the positioning flight last week (from may to march) for free under BWC in the hope it would get canned.
