Return of corona?
However, both a free-spirited virologists like Geert Vanden Bossche [rumble.com May 18, 2022], and the generous philanthropist who finances current mainstream virology [dailymail.co.uk 1 May 2022] fear that the bloody virus will return in the foreseeable future. Perhaps in a rather annoying form.
That is why we are writing this blog about this subject for the two steroids users among our seven-member readership. We're not going to tell them what they should do. However, we are going to summarize what Yusuf Althobaiti, a pharmacologist from Taif University, and his colleagues have discovered.

Results
Steroids use increased the risk of corona by a factor of 5, but past use had no influence. During a cycle, athletes are apparently increased vulnerable to the corona virus.
It may be enlightening to see the negative influence of steroids use in perspective. A family member who is infected with the corona virus increases the risk of corona to a greater extent than steroids use.

When the researchers looked at severe forms of Covid, they found similar associations. They were just a bit less strong.
