The oceans contain almost 200,000 different viruses

The next time you feel like taking a dip in the big blue ocean, you might not want to think about the fact that the seemingly pristine water is home to almost 200,000 different kinds of viruses.

While this may sound scary, a microbiologist at the Ohio State University, told CNN, "Having that road map [of what viruses exist] helps us do a lot of the things we’d be interested in to better understand the ocean and, I hate to say it, but maybe to have to engineer the ocean at some point to combat climate change.

The chance of getting infected by a random virus in the ocean is minor. Pretty sure it wouldn’t happen to me or at least I hope, but if ppl are hella worried they can just take a dip in a local chlorinated pool
