Kiwi, if your concern is based on this article in STAT NEWS about steroids in COVID19 treatment protocols, then the very last paragraph should calm these:

“It would be interesting to know if co-administration of an antiviral may help reduce viral load while the earlier steroids work on the inflammatory component in that group of people,” Bhadelia said. “We also need more data around co-infections in the setting of steroid use.”

It appears that the use of steroids would hamper the body's immune response to such a degree that an antiviral agent is needed even more as a co-therapy!
