2009-11-02 15:07

Georgia requested World Health Organisation to allocate swine flu vaccine.

According to Paata Imnadze, the head of the National Center for Disease Control , for the first stage 50 - 100 000 dozes would be enough.

It will be delivered to Georgia when WHO will accept the use of any of the developed vaccines [developed China, the USA, and a number of other countries].

Paata Imnadze states the situation in Georgia is still under control, and there's no reason for panic. Even in case the disease spread, the stock of tamiflu [used for complicated cases] amounts 130 000 dozes - quite enough for treatment of severe cases.

He added that preventive measures had been taken since summer when WHO declared the threat of swine flu epidemic.

Journalist demarche 2010-03-20 00:30 Georgia is again in distress - now over mass media. There have been no new fake stories on Georgian TV – apparently due to reproaches from the international community, but a Georgian journalist dared to spoil the reputation of “the beacon of democracy” seeking political asylum for his family to escape threats from authorities.

Imedi chronics: a trial over the madmen 2010-03-19 17:16 The authors of the TV piece about the attack that caused panic throughout the country should be put either to prison, or to an asylum. The Georgian opposition assumed the role of claimants and is preparing a petition to the court addressing Director General of the Imedi company Georgiy Arveladze, as well as President of the country Mikhail Saakashvili.

Opinions

“Away with the president” peacefully
The Georgian opposition seems to live according to a cyclic people’s calendar. In spring, the calendar orders to demand early resignation of the country’s government and the new presidential and parliamentarian elections. The government provides enough reasons for that. Imedi’s scandalous broadcast about Russia’s attack against Georgia became the last straw in this season. Several parties that have consolidated around Zurab Nogaideli into National Council speak for the peaceful change of the government.
