 Re: playing ensemble music in immediate post-confinement

Greetings to all,

There are many unknowns about Covid-19 means of transmission and infectiousness. Most reports now are anecdotal observations and not based on the gold standard of randomized clinical trials. Such trials can not be done on people but will depend upon models. The best we can do in the near term may be determined with observational studies between large groups with the fewest differences in the factors affecting infection.

Temperature, humidity and air circulation are environmental factors that effect how far aerosolized particles might travel. The amount of infectious virus dispersed over time by the source and the means of intake and susceptibility of the recipient are factors that are not constant in real life. A "good" mask, handwashing and social distancing are the best ways now to limit our receiving or spreading Covid-19.

Observations have indicated the greatest risk of spread is person to person by particles being dispersed from one persons respiratory system and entering another through the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, windpipe, lungs and eyes. One can spread the infection to others before becoming symptomatic. Large testing studies are needed to determine when and for how long someone is infectious. Only when we know who is or is not infected can we know the risk being taken with contact.

An individual has to assess what risk they are willing to take to not only keep from getting infected but how willing are they to risk infecting someone more susceptible to major illness if not death. If you are in your 50's you might feel more comfortable playing with two people in their 30's but not older than 70. Sitting 6-10 feet away in an open area with non-recirculation of dry clean air could be safer than playing outside down wind 30 feet away from someone who is infected. In a group what is the risk of someone being infected?

I can not give you the answer you want because nobody knows yet. Am I a risk to you or are you a risk to me? The risk is the same if nobody is infectious but differs for each if infection is present. Could I get infected because a non-player coughed half an hour ago on the music we are playing and I get contaminated handling the music before put my reed on my mouthpiece? Sorry for too long a post for no information or assurance.

It will be safer when we have accessible testing, treatment or vaccine for Covid-19. Today prevention through public health measures is the only way to be safe. Stay safe by washing your hands, wearing a mask when going out and practicing distancing as best you can.
