Earlier today Ironorehopper on Twitter notified me of an cluster of unknown respiratory illness in and around Dothan, Alabama. He (and other newshounds) have been posting local reports on FluTrackers on this thread since mid-afternoon, while Crof has reports here and here.
A search of Dothan TV stations turns up this from ABC affiliate WDHN-TV; a video of a press conference held earlier today on the local health department’s investigation into these illnesses.

The State Health Department’s notice (shown below) is available on the ADPH.ORG/NEWS/ website.
As for what might be behind this unidentified respiratory outbreak, we’ll have to await results from the state and CDC labs.
