Facts get in the way

Top Of The Heap - Esquire

"Last night, as the news broke that a doctor who had worked in west Africa had returned to New York and, subsequently, after riding in an Uber car, taking the subway, and bowling, had self-diagnosed and been found to have come down with Ebola, if you took a drink every time CNN's Don Lemon said 'the most populous city in the country,' I certainly hope you didn't drive home. If you did, you were a greater danger to the public health than Dr. Craig Spencer ever was. According to that pesky CDC, we lose 30 people per day to alcohol-related automobile accidents, which means we lose 29 more people every day than we have lost to Ebola in total since Thomas Duncan went to that hospital in Texas. Just sayin'."

and more.
