Yo dawg, I heard you like viruses, so I put viruses on your viruses.

This is like that scene in Jurassic Park when the raptors learn how to open doors but the viruses have been opening doors the whole time.

Uhh... it's more like the parasitic virus is piggybacking on the mechanism the host virus uses to infect cells.

This is actually kinda terrifying.

Two viruses enter. One virus leaves.
