[Strange question] Do chips get damaged by bacterias and biological viruses ?

So i was watching some introductory video on ssd hardware and like always got mesmerized by the marvel that moderns computers are.

Then i realized that the size of a v-nand is simply some nano-meters and that it's about the size of real life viruses. I wonder if viruses get zapped and can for example block ports or i don't know, melt due to the warmth of a working ssd and clog or damage parts of a v-nand or other components.

Also, considering that older electronics were micrometer sized, were there troubles with bacteria's at the time ? Did they damaged or clogged older chips ?

I know that my question is probably strange or insanely naive but considering that everything is covered in bacteria's and viruses, i wondered that the inside of computers probably are too and how does it interact with the computer...

After all the first bug was a real one !

Those chips are sealed inside casing that keeps microorganisms out. It also keeps dust and other bad stuff out. If they were actually exposed, the chips would be more at risk of having dust particles settle on them and cause electrical interference or short-circuits, which does not require any microorganisms to be involved.
