Swine flu arrives in KC
April 30, 2009 | 1 Comment
Last night Missouri Governor Jay Nixon announced that Platte County has a probably case of swine flu, the first in the KC metro area and the state of Missouri. Northlanders, brace for an invasion of TV news crews!
- Video of Governor Nixon’s press conference: Part 1 and Part 2.
- KC Star report.
- KMBC-TV 9 report, with video.
And Tony’s Kansas City points out the irony of the swine flu turning up in wealthy, gringo Platte County just as the newsfolk were trolling for it in the Mexican-American community on the Westside.

Thanks for the link . . . Looking at other stories that only seem worse. Still, hoping that pop culture trends coming to KC late is a pattern that continues to hold up in this town.
