Have a friend taking Molnupiravir (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molnupiravir) for a COVID infection and this is honestly some very cool science:
> When the viral RNA polymerase attempts to copy RNA containing molnupiravir, it sometimes interprets it as C and sometimes as U. **This causes more mutations in all downstream copies than the virus can survive, an effect called viral error catastrophe or lethal mutagenesis.**
"viral error catastrophe" is straight out of the WuTang Name Generator
