can you shorten this up a bit The passage argues for the importance of frequent handwashing during the cold season. It supports this claim by explaining that colds and flu are spread through hands, identifying common surfaces that harbor viruses and bacteria, and emphasizing the need to avoid touching the nose or rubbing the eyes after being in public places. However, the sentence "The most common cold virus is the rhinovirus" in the second paragraph contains an irrelevant detail.
