MOSCOW, January 28 where the coronavirus came from — we need to concentrate on creating new drugs and preventing the emergence of more severe types of diseases. «Now, it seems to me, we need to concentrate not on finding out the reasons for where this all came from, although this is certainly interesting, but on preventing the emergence of new more severe types of diseases, including more severe strains, more pathogenic strains. On the creation of new drugs and on the common opposition to this very complex, difficult process,» Medvedev said in an interview with RIA Novosti and other leading Russian media. He expressed hope that “the predictions of those who believe that the virus develops and weakens according to known laws come true,” as happened, for example, with the “Spanish flu” in the 1920s, and, ultimately, the coronavirus turned into a common seasonal disease that everyone is used to and which proceeds in a relatively mild form. «This virus is strange, its origin is unknown. So you ask about whether there was an understanding of its origin? As far as I understand, there is no exact understanding. Will it ever appear? Not sure. We just need to adapt to this and fight the virus, live in these conditions, understand how to resist it, create not only vaccines, but also medicines, because this is perhaps even more complicated thing,» Medvedev said. 
Medvedev said that he has no lack of communication in a pandemic
