Thursday on Lake Effect: Health Care Inequities, Global Terrorism & Florentine Opera

Thursday on Lake Effect: 

The Zika virus outbreak has been at the forefront of health coverage in the past week, as Ebola, AIDS, and influenza have been in the past. But these global health concerns aren’t just about controlling infectious diseases. We explore how legal structures are helping to address inequities in global health care. Then, a Muslim academic in Wisconsin discusses what he thinks is driving the cycle of global terror and violence. In honor of Valentine’s Day, Lake Effect essayist Avi Lank shares a story of love and border control. And the Florentine Studio artists sing for us, and talk about what they have to learn to be professional opera singers
