We talk to an infectious disease expert about what enterovirus does to the body, and whether or not we expect to see the virus in Wisconsin. Then, we discuss a new report showing Wisconsin is dead last when it comes to the well-being of African-American children, and we talk to a music writer who makes the case that we shouldn’t be ditching our music CD’s just quite yet.
