The two minutes long video begins with the woman sputtering and coughing before she advises viewers "not to take any chances."

If anyone is thinking of taking any chances, take a look at me, I can't breathe without this", she says, pointing at a tube that has been inserted into her nose to aid in breathing. She then shows off canolas on both her hands, and adds that she cannot function without these, and her body is "fighting" against the virus that has ravaged her body.
However, she further shockingly admits that she is actually ten times better than what she was before. "I don't even know, I have lost count of the days", she says. The unnamed woman then goes on to say that if anyone still smokes, they should stop at once because they are going to need their lungs. There is indeed evidence to suggest that people with asthma/heart disease (besides the elderly) are more likely to die of a corona infection.
