I think in the post you described, Peter Norvig is the author of the first post. He may have cut & paste the "patient zero" posting instead of sharing the original, if "patient zero" was the first?

This question is better suited for Android Enthusiasts than here, but here's some things to try.

You probably just need to wait for things to sync. (In fact, I'd be willing to bet money that the issue will be resolved before you come back to read this answer.)

1. Under Settings | Accounts | Google | (your account) make sure Google+ is checked. If it is, try unchecking it then checking it again. This should force a sync.

2. If the above doesn't work, try the standard measures to deal with a truculent Android app. That is, try the following, in order, and stop when the issue is fixed:

   From Settings | Apps | Google+

   • Force stop
   • Clear cache
   • Clear data
   • Restart the phone
   • Uninstall and re-install (the nuclear option)
