Dr. Nisar Ul Hassan the only Flu expert in Kashmir who headed the swine flu epidemic in past in Jammu and Kashmir said that the science is not about presumptions, assumptions and speculations first it has to be understood that this is a new virus. He said that fortunately they haven't seen much of infection in children and they have shown it very lesser because it's them (children) who spread it in the community more and “we have not seen it in pregnant women yet.” He said there can be no claims unless a proper study is done on the subject— (KNO)
