    Extractions: WASHINGTON (CNN) The 1918 flu that killed more than 20 million people may have quietly percolated for several years, trading back and forth between pigs and people, until suddenly growing strong enough to become the worst recorded global epidemic. That's the latest theory from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, which reported Monday that researchers for the first time have completely analyzed a critical gene from the killer influenza virus. The gene likely "was adapting in humans or in swine for maybe several years before it broke out as a pandemic virus," said molecular biologist Ann Reid, lead author of the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. But "we can't tell whether it went from pigs into humans or from humans into pigs," she said.

(CNN) Thousands of people have been sickened across the country with what health officials say is a severe strain of influenza in a season that started earlier than expected. Colorado is one of the hardest-hit states. Four children there have died from the highly contagious respiratory virus. "One of the reported deaths from flu this year was of a child with symptoms that were not consistent with the flu," said Dr. Ned Calonge, Colorado's chief medical officer. "The loss of this child is tragic, but parents need to know this is a very unusual case, and that there have not been any similar cases in Colorado or Texas, where flu activity has been the worst to date in the United States this year," he said in a statement on the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Web site.

    Extractions: (CNN) If you have not already received your flu shot, it is time. Flu season begins in October and peaks between February and March. The flu kills about 20,000 people every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This year, there are three strains of the virus that are expected to be particularly common: the Moscow, the New Caledonia and the Hong Kong. It is important to remember that there are differences between a cold and the flu. Cold symptoms are typically just upper respiratory and symptoms include a runny nose and sniffling. The flu tends to be much more serious, affecting the lower respiratory system as well. Fevers, fatigue and sore throat are present with the flu not to mention just a general feeling of being wiped out. The flu shot will reduce your chances of getting the flu by about 70-90 percent, according to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). It does take 14 days to work so make sure to get your flu shot before you get sick.

(AP) With the nation's supply of flu shots dropping rapidly and at least 13 states facing an unusually severe flu outbreak, doctors are urging healthy people to opt for a nasal-spray version of the vaccine and save the traditional one for children and the elderly. "If you're healthy, you have two options: Please take the option that the other folks can't have," said Dr. William Schaffner of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. The nasal spray is recommended only for healthy people ages 5-49, and doctors began pushing it as an alternative to the traditional vaccine Friday, after the two makers of flu shots in the United States announced they have run out and will not be able to meet a surge in demand resulting from fears of a particularly bad season.

The sick standing in store lines isn't doctors' only frustration. Manufacturers acknowledge shipping shots to large corporations for employee-vaccination programs ahead of many doctors even though this year's vaccine delay means high-risk Americans, not healthy young workers, are supposed to be first in line.

WASHINGTON (AP) The 1918 flu that killed 20 million people appears to be more birdlike than previously thought, according to findings by U.S. and British researchers that could help explain why it was the deadliest influenza strain ever recorded. The work doesn't have direct implications for Asia's current outbreak of bird flu, a strain that doesn't seem able to easily infect many people. But the findings, to be published Friday by the journal Science, do highlight how important it is to monitor flu in poultry since the research suggests it might take fewer genetic adaptations than once thought for a bird virus to begin spreading from person to person. The research, conducted separately by scientists at the Scripps Institute in La Jolla, California, and at Britain's Medical Research Council, used lung samples preserved from victims of the 1918 flu to reconstruct a protein crucial to their infection.

Some 790 chicken and poultry were reported to have died of H5N1 avian influenza in three poultry markets in Hong Kong, prompting the local government to slaughter all poultry in the stalls. In 1997, the outbreak of a fatal strain of the H5N1 virus killed 6 people in Hong Kong. The government slaughtered 1.4 million poultry to contain the flu. CNN.com Asia More news from our A government spokesman said no more poultry had been reported to have died of abnormal conditions related to the virus following Wednesday's slaughter. There was little fear that humans might be vulnerable to the virus. Lily Yam, Hong Kong's Secretary for the Environment and Food, said from samples recently collected from these three markets "genes sequencing tests have demonstrated that these viruses are not I repeat not the same as the kind of H5N1 chicken virus that we had in Hong Kong in 1997".

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Services CNNtoGO Contact Us SEARCH Web CNN.com Story Tools SEOUL, South Korea (Reuters) With a highly contagious strain of bird flu spreading, South Korea's government held an emergency meeting to discuss ways to contain the outbreak. Prime Minister Goh Kun chaired Sunday's meeting, which coincided with an agriculture ministry announcement of a new case of the virus. The bird flu virus, which can be deadly for humans, surfaced among chickens at a farm about 80 km (50 miles) southeast of the capital Seoul on Monday. Since then, the authorities have slaughtered 210,000 chickens and ducks, but officials say a further 405,000, at least, will be culled. A variant of avian influenza identified as H5N1 killed six people in Hong Kong in 1997 and 1998. South Korean authorities have asked for U.S. help to check whether the latest virus has the same gene as that strain. Hundreds of people living in the affected areas have been given blood tests, although no one has shown symptoms of the disease.
