Viruses could be RNA sequences, or proteins, or agents of some sort (synthetic or biological). I like the idea of nanoparticles or ancient codes. There's clearly a differentiation vs bacteria or parasites in some instances, but as you note, other times it's not so clear. It may be that some diseases have been wrongly attributed to one or the other.
It's also the case that similar clusters of symptoms can have multiple causes, but modern medicine likes to conflate things so they are designated to be a single disease and therefore there is a bigger pool of patients to treat. In fact, many diseases are really "syndromes" (a collection of symptoms). This is the case with many autoimmune conditions, psychiatric diagnoses, and probably flu-like illnesses too.
You've basically summed up where I'm at too.
