Anyone catch Frontline re Superbugs?

It's been 2 yrs. since the outbreak at NIH and the US is still absent any regular reporting of #cases/locations ie DATA, even just to measure the [growth]. Meanwhile (at least) 44 countries have experienced NDM1 or KCC--there may be other acronyms by now. Wondering.. while it's just another case of Capitalism-FAIL, are any meeja (besides PBS) remotely curious about that exponential-growth Thing? Seen any reporting there? (No not cheap-snark, as in: we do this shit all the time--I mean: HAS anyone seen? any aspect of this pending pandemic getting any Corporate-air.)
