Dear teacher,
Viruses are slightly different. You need only pick up a few virus particles to infect yourself with a cold or flu, and virus particles can survive on surfaces for days. So disinfecting the surfaces in the home should, in theory, reduce the chances of picking up a bug. (Some antibacterial products also kill viruses.)
Q : I think the bold sentence mean "if you pick up only a few virus, you would be infected with a cold or flu." What do you think?
One more, the "to" in "to infect yourself" means "in order to", doesn't it?
A meaning of a sentence.
