My, what a dialog!!
Lots of practical experience and advice!!
I'm with the 'majority', it's unlikely that your reed is the culprit.
(I have several 'dirty old reeds' that play really well, and it's been a long time since I had a bug.)
There's viruses everywhere and lots of vectors -- ways to spread them.
And viruses aren't really alive anyway, so good luck killing them. They're just fragmented bits of DNA that amazingly derail our immunity. Once you're exposed to a cold/flu virus, your body should develop resistance to it the next time around.
My advice is to keep your immune system strong (vitamin C, zinc, and decent Nutrition and Sleep!) and wash your hands, use common sense in public places.
