Nearsightedness of Electronic Matter and the Size of Viruses

I conjecture that the nearsightedness of component electronic matter largely determines the size of a virus. These two length scales, one from physics and one from biochemistry, are in fact the same dimension which connects our quantum and everyday worlds. Learning how viruses interact with microscopic molecules and macroscopic biological cells might help us understand the quantum-to-classical transition in general cases of multiscale phenomena.
