If anybody is curious about the safest places, this data base has county level data on average new case counts per capita:

I am not even thinking about a bike tour this year. For those of you that do it, I hope you stay safe and have a great time. I hear that some campgrounds are busier, but some are less busy, so it is impossible to say how that will work out for you.

Last summer I did a two week backpacking trip, I plan a repeat of that next month. When bike touring, I re-supply on food and fuel along the way. But backpacking, I am not planning on re-supplying at any stores along the way, will re-supply on food and stove fuel once or twice from where I park my truck. Thus will be 100 percent self-reliant based on what I bring from home. And backpacking out in the wilderness is the definition of social distancing.
