I know this kind of stuff has been a red alert in the past before the Ebola Virus... but do we have anything new on the Superbug?
A dreaded superbug found for the first time in a U.S. woman

I bet we do but can't use the search engine here without deciding what terms are most likely to be bot-speak for the superbug. It isn't viral in nature so am lost at first-thought. The NDE search engine works really well. Me right now, not so much.

Psst! yo, any member or lurker that'll jump in and post here! Got any ideas of metaphors for "bug" or "bacterium?" (did I even use the form of that word properly? odds are, no, loll)
Would Dreambot use "virus" in the runs cuz heck, many laypersons misuse virus for other types of infection and way, too many doctors have prescribed antibiotics when only viral infection was present, yada yada.
Cuz, we do have "virus" in more than one botrun.
What can we search for in our runs to perhaps expose botruns on this newly reported Superbug?

Yes, dreambot might use virus I would think.
I would look for infection, disease, an insect word, bother, disturb, a "sick" synonym pared with a "super" synonym.
I will try to look for some of these later today if I can.

Eagle says 6 weeks is the average range, so you could go a bit farther back to cover it.

Yes! dang, a search of this type is so delicious and so cool when it rewards results.
