Yeah, right. The lottery isn’t contagious, via air or touch. They aren’t even worth comparing.
The lottery is voluntary.
I’m so fortunate that I have the wise liberal elites at CBS news to ease my foolish fears. After all, I’m just an idiot conservative.
It’s a miracle I can even get myself dressed - in fact I probably couldn’t even manage that without having “CBS This Morning” playing on my television.

Well I guess we can cut off foreign aid packages to west Africa since they have so many lottery winners.
So far.
With Ebola, you're in the game whether or not you want to play.
Yea, and your odds increase at a parabolic rate in an outbreak, A-hole See B S news Chicago,; While the Lottery is a flat line.
This used to be considered commen sense.
The level of stupid we have to put up with is astonishing
I hope my odds of dying from Ebola aren’t similar to my odds of winning the Nigerian National Lottery - I just got the third email this month informing me that I hold a winning ticket!
Yes but the lottery won’t kill you.
Come back in late January and se how your statement lines up.
What is it the GPS keeps saying when lost.....
Recalculating,...Recalculating....
You can’t win if you don’t play.
A lily pond has one lilypad in it. Each lilypad in the pond reproduces itself once per day. It takes 29 days to fill half of the lily pond. How long does it take to fill the whole lily pond?
Answer: 30 days
Now replace lily pond with “population of the world” and replace lilypad with “Ebola infected person.”
The timings may not be as fast, but in the end, the result is the same. It WILL overwhelm the population.
Your odds of being infected with and dying from Ebola will continue to climb exponentially.
You will keep telling yourself that the odds of your catching it are small.
Then, one day, seemingly overnight, you will be surrounded by it.
Your only hope will be to isolate yourself from it - a reverse quarantine.
You need to be prepared to wait it out as it burns itself out.
Exactly one year ago the odds of someone in the Hot Zone winning a lottery also was higher than catching Ebola.
Then we had Patient Zero die in Guinea in December 2013. Now, not so much.
Can you buy a power ball ticket at DFW? That could be a two-fer.
I had assumed being a journalist for a national news outlet generally required an IQ of at least 70 or so. This guy just invalidated my assumption.
You know, they always tell you that the odds of getting hit by lightning are small, too, but they still recommend that you don’t play golf in a thunderstorm.
SeeBS out of Chicago. Good luck with those lottery winnings. LOL! Fools.
Like anyone in the MSM passed fifth grade math.
Sorry, I get my medical advice from professionals, like the Ebola Czar.
No, wait....
Total population of Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea combined: 6M + 4.3M + 11.7M = 22 million. Total dead so far 4922 (official count - actual number estimated to be 2.5 to 4 times as large). Empirical probability of dying in a country in which Ebola is out of control: at least 1 in 5,000. This is a whole lot higher than the probability of winning a large lottery prize.
What are the odds of Ebola spreading in the United States? That depends on our policies, just as the odds in West Africa were influenced by their burial practices. If we act sensibly, we are almost guaranteed to keep Ebola contained. If we send large numbers of soldiers over there to do work for which they are not trained, if we fast track visas for people in infected countries and refuse to quarantine travelers, and if we keep our southern border open and unprotected, our odds are not as good as they might be.
And the chances of Obama acting in the interests of the American people? Far less than 1 in 175,000,000.
