How large would a pool have to be for you to swim in it if there is also a corpse in the pool? (lemmy.world)

There are many corpses in the ocean, but nobody has any corpse-related qualms about swimming in the ocean. But most people would not swim in a pool with a corpse in it.

I would think a human corpse will be more harmful to other humans, since the bacteria are already adapted to our species.
