It was first detected IN THE US, in Kansas on a military base among troops who had returned from Europe, where it had spread already infecting millions. It did not originate in Kansas.

Like I said, Bullshit. It started in Europe and was brought to the US by troops returning from European battlefields. I always love it when someone says "Some authoritiessay..." or " Some say...", but never actually indicate which "authorities" or who the "some" actually is.
