Seven people have been admitted to area hospitals, and two of them have died, in what health officials described Tuesday as a cluster of respiratory illnesses with flulike symptoms.
Peggy Blakeney, the area administrator for the state Department of Public Health, said officials with the state Department of Public Health in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control are investigating a cluster of respiratory illnesses across southeast Alabama.
Blakeney said so far, through their ongoing investigation, they know of seven people hospitalized for treatment. She said two of those people have died.
Corey Kirkland, the assistant administrator for the area, said those two deaths occurred on Saturday and Sunday.
Peggy Williams, a state Department of Health investigator, said of the five people who remained hospitalized Tuesday, one was in an intensive care unit at a local hospital.

This is not good. I've have a respiratory infection for a couple weeks. Doctor put me on antibiotics 1000mg 3 x a day. Went off and cough came back. Back on antibiotics.

I’’ve only been to Colorado and Nebraska in last few months, so probably not. Thanks so much for the prayers!
