Prime example of poor reporting by the media.

 

Be ready to explain to Joe Public exactly the above.

 

Sepecalative headline to attemp to find a scandal where there isn’t one.

 

Why are the media obsessed with the performance or otherwise of our NHS ?

 

But the damage is done to our sport.

 

Dig deep and be a better ambassador for the sport.

Never trust main stream media, just use Scottish and Brexit campains as proof

Its present also in the soil and cryptococcosis is also seen in cats and occasionally dogs. It is the most common deep fungal disease in cats, usually leading to chronic infection of the nose and sinuses, and skin ulcers. Cats may develop a bump over the bridge of the nose from local tissue inflammation. It can be associated with FeLV infection in cats. Cryptococcosis is most common in dogs and cats but cattle, sheep, goats, horses, wild animals, and birds can also be infected. Soil, fowl manure, and pigeon droppings are among the sources of infection.It is extremely rare for humans to become infected unless there is a problem with the imuine system. copied from another post via fb
