How many of us use public transport or any other public places, spaces and buildings?
If we all live in a sterile environment and adhere to a completely germ-ridding regime, we'll only fall foul to any bacteria as our resistance will be low to any virus or bacteria - read 'War of the Worlds' and you'll see why.
How have we as the human race managed to survive so far? If germs are so dangerous we'd have all been wiped out at the last plague or by smallpox. It's only through disease we are still here, and have had our resistance boosted.
Germs are everywhere to a greater or lesser degree - even in the operating theatre there are people without masks breathing their germs into the sterile environment and surgeons shedding dead skin cells as they have short sleeves.
I'm not advocation sharing the same equipment as someone else, but sometimes it happens and probably always will. Any double reed players will know that bought reeds have probably been tried out by several people before they've been bought.
String players are at risk of picking things up too if they let someone else use their instrument. There are more ways of transmitting illness other than playing someone else's clarinet.
I reckon you're just as likely to catch somthing from handling money or drinking from a glass or cup in a cafe as you are from playing someone else's instrument, no matter what it is.
