For those of you who are running orchestras with or without all these precautions, do you mind my asking what rate of infection you are actually getting amongst your players?

I just wonder because if they are all staying well or getting ill and recovering, then that is probably the most important thing.

Our (UK) government declared at the start of summer that we had enough vaccine coverage in the older generations that we could all go back to normal behaviour. They said that all the younger, unvaccinated people would then get covid, but that statistically that was actually safer for those kids than having the vaccination.

So society prompty opened up, and I have spent the whole summer working through a really tedious covid infection, which I still have now. But my son got the bug too, and recovered quickly. So I suppose he has got his immunity, and he worked through the illness in the holiday, which is what they wanted.

I'm just wondering - because if immunity by infection is the safe thing for younger people, does that mean it should actually be mandatory unmasked clarinet playing for all under 18s, as the fastest route to herd immunity?

(I'm kind of joking there obviously, but from the logic our government seems to go by, that's what it seems to imply, if your older folks are all vaccinated.)
