You said it yourself: in the Spielberg version the *machines had been
buried* but not the Martians themselves. This does not invalidate the notion
of them being susceptible to modern day bacteria and viruses. Even we
humans are constantly under attack in that respect, so all the preparation
in the world (or worlds) might not amount to all that much.
It's really not much of a stretch, if you ask me.
Anyone?
