Well there is a bit of a debate about the type of air purifiers that would kill viruses and bacteria. Ionization type purifiers change the ion structure of the air in the room, this change is believed to kill some viruses and bacteria. Air borne pathogens are killed by several means, ionization and ultraviolet bombardment. To control a Flu virus effectively you would need to have a protocol in place in concert with air purification. Hand disinfection being one very important step, cough and sneeze protocol (using tissue to suppress expelled bacteria and viral matter) and a clean clothing protocol. Ultimately just washing your hands and being aware of the environment you are entering can keep you safe (as well as your handkerchief).
