What is a steroid taper? I know what steroids are, and steroid creams and shots, but tapers?

I hadn't given any thought to outreach concerts this year (probably because I stay home for them) and hadn't realized there weren't any. What you say makes sense and I can see why none are taking place right now. The rehab place my mom was stuck in was seriously short on staff too. I think the new place is much better in terms of staffing (and everything else too).
