looking for similarities between COVID and snake venom bites. Yes, like the documentary mentioned, snake venom affects the lungs by paralyzing them and "your life can be saved by putting you on an artificial respirator" BUT this is very different from how COVID causes lung failure and difficulty breathing from pneumonia (confirmed by x-ray) and not lung paralysis. COVID doesn't seem to have any neurologic affects, right?

Editing to add that if COVID perhaps "paralyzes" the lungs to a much smaller degree than a snake bite would, could it cause shallow breathing which then leads to pneumonia? I did hear doctor's mention that if you keep moving when you have COVID then it won't progress to pneumonia, so this could be plausible. Not a biologist though.
