Agree and disagree with @VincentRK statements
Agree - harmful if given early or given too long
Disagree - only useful after they become hypoxic (SpO2 <92)
If we wait for patient to become hypoxic, there's no easy availability of oxygen beds.
See my viewpoint below.

Critics say no evidence it helps (rather evidence of possible harm). But closer reading of RECOVERY trial shows that at least 50% of patients in group not requiring O2 or resp support were started on steroids between 3 to 6 days of symptom onset.
At least in the face of massive resource crunch, Evidence Based Medicine must take the backseat. Absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence (can't believe I said it).
@KrutikaKuppalli @paimadhu @cspramesh et al must have a re-look into their resourceful cheatsheet for COVID home care.
