Re: Face Shields Anyone?

Hi Karl,

Yes I was thinking that that bag could have holes on either sides with elasticated cuffs.

I'm a plant scientist by profession, and have spent a number of years working in microbiology and with genetically modified plants (not for food, but for fundemental research on how roots develop). In the laboratories where I've worked we've been living with a low grade version of the covid-style restrictions for years, and it's surprising the gadgetry that people have come up with to solve these problems.

For example, in the microbiology lab we have a thing called a "flow hood". Its job is to make the air around and above a work desk stay competely sterile while the person is working at it. It means that when the worker plates bacteria onto an agar plate (s)he can be absolutely sure that only the *right* bacteria will go onto the plate. That is a very similar business to making sure we clarinetists don't give the wrong virus to the flautists in the row in front.

It seems to me that if the plant scientists can cope with such things, perhaps we could borrow a bit of their lateral thinking, and perhaps try playing a clarinet in a bag, with cuffs. We need some help from the biologists to measure the aerosols that come out of the bag, but I think they are very much on the case, if we can clarinetists can fine-tune the design of the bag.
