Thanks for the suggestion on the sax/clarinet stand, SecondTry. I sometimes double on alto sax; that stand could come in handy now and into the future.
Bell covers on clarinets and saxophones? Don't get me started. Flautists are still going to be blowing air across their instruments' embouchure holes and spewing a cloud of droplets into the air, just as always. Nobody is asking them to don something like a clear garbage bag over their upper body and flute to mitigate that transmission mechanism. Or, how about a wad of toilet paper clipped to a marching lyre positioned in front of their embouchure plate to catch some of the moisture?
The possible impact of wind instruments spreading airborne diseases such as tuberculosis, measles, mumps, and whooping cough back when they were not under control was something people either didn't care about, or thought was a risk worth taking. A band room in the 1950s was a veritable germ factory. And yet we survived.
