I am wondering what's view is with the droplets coming out of wind instruments with relation to covid19. Something doesn't seem to add up to the studies which I've seen so far.
I don't claim to be an scientist etc. but here's my thought. There is a natural condensation in all instruments in particular brass instruments. With the valved instruments, there's oil on the valves with a bit condensation. Wouldn't the oil be enough to 'kill' any germs? Then what comes out of the water keys of the instrument is mainly natural condensation with a bit oil in it The amount of liquid is so remotely small that the chances of getting sick is almost zero. I get staying maybe 1 meter away possibly especially one isn't playing their instrument and ofcourse stay home if one isn't sick.
Any thoughts?
