Motorcycle Riding and COVID-19 - April, 2020

(Image from Star City Motorsports popup ad this morning...thanks for sharing!)

March Riding: 20-ish miles
April Riding: 180-ish miles - so far.

Uh, yeah, I *have* been off my bike for a few weeks - but is that simply not long enough? The odds of a motorcycle accident? Google tells me around 25 fatalities per million miles of travel.
From training & education, if you remove the helmet/gear factor (wearing vs. not wearing ATGATT), drugs and/or alcohol, reckless riding and/or excessive speed and a couple of other lesser things, that covers most causes of motorcycle accidents.
I did that simple 180-odd mile ride last Wednesday, in 80° temps here in beautiful ¡Baja Arizona! and it was 100% uneventful.
I've been reading more than a few threads on motorcycling forums about the calculus made when things were 'normal' from a health care perspective, when riding a motorcycle. Over the last few weeks, that equation has changed drastically.  This means the opportunities of an incident are different. 

Observations made on that ride:
- Local and state police were out; with the traffic about 25% of what it would be on a normal weekday out on the Interstate, they were actively pulling over drivers. The traffic I saw @ 10:30am local time on a weekday is what a Sunday morning at 8am might look like, so it's all deceiving to just look at the traffic and know what's going on.
- Still a substantial number of motorhomes/pick-up trucks & travel trailers with out-of-state plates out and about. Typically, April would be the month that 'snowbirds' would begin to take flight & head back home. Perhaps what I saw was the first wave of this happening.
- Commercial vehicles...looks like the numbers of these hasn't changed a lot...

My route took me to a road that has about 8 miles of twisties (not very) in 18 miles. Half of it was chip-sealed with oil-fog applied. This extinguished any hope for any sort of a 'spirited' ride, even if it was dialed down to 5/10ths. Most of my route was a combined Interstate highway leg, along with a two-laned rural state highway. Quiet and very sedate ride.
Reduced number of motorists - a plus.
Increased risk of emergency treatment opportunity in the event of an unplanned ride termination as a result of the current pandemic - a minus.
Do the 'pluses' negate the 'minuses' above in the equation above?
It truly depends on your location, and perspective on riding. Some of the best weather Arizona has to offer is happening right now.

I will take another ride in April. It may be as sedate as the ride last week, but it's still a small dose of 'handlebar therapy'. Therapy, even during these times, is a good thing.

May 4th Update:
April Riding total: About 600-odd miles. I suspect May will be a little better, but not to the point of any large, major rides that I know of.
