There's a big oil boom going on in this area right now. (Heard about this from someone moving there.) The money is good and a lot of people are moving there and dealing with adjustment stresses, long hours, and very expensive and scarce housing. Maybe this is contributing to the rough flu season there.

Fair rent is in short supply in the Permian Basin, as is a ?vacant? sign on any motel, as is a close parking spot at Target ? but there?s one aspect right now that?s widespread and readily available.
It?s just that no one wants the flu...
