#7How does it make sense for humans to get this flu from birds, become symptomatic, but not pass it on to at least their sexual/kissing partners?

Are there any variants that can spread from birds to humans but not from humans to humans? Definitely not an expert in this at all, but it seems like the virus wouldn't care where it was before it got in to someone's mucous membranes. I can certainly imagine some modes of transfer will be less likely because maybe this variant causes chickens to sneeze, but not people, greatly reducing transmissivity, but seems unlikely to me to be impossible.

Most people have the boring kind of sex where you do not consume the flesh of your partner.
