That is to say, can you set an arbitrary distance after which if you have survived the virus is no longer effecting you if the distance is greater than the supposed reach of the virus?
In a strictly physical sense, viruses are typically ones which are not easily 'curable', most antibiotics don't work on viruses and theres few antiviral medications out there. Bacteria is typically associated with being 'curable', of course with its notable exceptions.
Additionally, scientists have traced the phylogenesis (ancient genetic pathway) of human and mouse DNA and have found that it may contain up to 5% viral DNA, which certainly puts a twist in my mind about viruses.... and then of course there's the fact that there are millions of distinct bacterial organisms in our gut flora....what's really 'bad' for you?

I'd agree with what you're saying, essentially that your behavior is what dictates the manifestation of illness. Ra talks about this extensively, if I recall he made a metaphysical analogy to cancer as being the inability to let go...which makes sense because the hallmark of cancer cells is that they go out of control and continue to propagate erroneously. So if you can't let go of control, or past resentments, or the like, it could potentially manifest in your physical body as your cells letting go of their control via a mutation. I really feel that all illness is a reflection of the mind, anyways.
Just got a nasty cold the other day and decided not to use any cold or flu medications and to discover the metaphysical manifestations of the illness...as I reflected on each thing which could have manifested it I realized that my illness at that day was due to an overexertion of my energies and not taking the time to sit with myself...I felt like each realization I had relieved me of my symptoms until the next day, I was completely fine...
