Not really a kiss. Just a peck on the cheek...

I'm keeping my big fat public-health yap shut!  

Let's just say that some folks do far worse to the chickens than kiss 'em.

Oh that reminds me of the guy they busted at the Peacock Hotel (Las Padrinos Juvenile Hall, 1978). Yeah, it's a true story.

^believe me!  Remember all the early cases of H7N9 in China?  Older male cases....really?

I'm betting that your typical older Chinese men don't go to the wet markets to buy chickens for dinner! 

I don't have any evidence, but having spent over 30 years in public health has taught me a lot of things....one of which is, "if it's weird enough to imagine, someone's done it."  Probably more than once.
