On May 2, 2009, the Alabama Department of Public Health confirmed the first case of H1N1 (swine flu) in Madison, Alabama,^[121] one of two probable cases previously identified at an elementary school in Madison.^[122] As a result, all public schools and most private schools and daycare centers in Madison County, Alabama, including the cities of Huntsville and Madison, closed for two days.^[123] After meeting with the state public health officer on May 3, 2009, all Madison city elementary schools were to be closed through May 13, 2009,^[124] but were reopened after the CDC updated its guidance to schools.

As of December 5, 2009, the Alabama Department of Public Health reports 2453 confirmed and 36 deaths from swine flu. As of January 9, 2010, Alabama was the only US state reporting widespread A/H1N1 flu activity.

The above info from Wikipedia does not not sound like a state that would suppress health info. I would suggest you check out the swine flu stats to put this coronavirus in perspective.
