If researchers found that the coronavirus did infect neurons and that long COVID was actually the by-product of a low-grade infection somewhere in the brain, the last thing you would want to do is give those people steroids. That would actually lower the innate immune defenses in your brain and allow the virus to build up a bigger armament and start replicating anew in the brain, which obviously you don’t want. If you give somebody who has SARS-CoV-2 steroids before they have cleared the virus, it’s very bad news.
