It did nearly kill him - Boris Johnson is clinically obese so he had a clinical risk associated with the Covid vulnerable group and more crucially, you don't get admitted in to an Intensive Care Unit for nothing. He had breathing difficulties to the point he required oxygen and round the clock intensive care.
They do not put "slightly" poorly people in ICU on the whim, going in there requires invasive medical procedures, they would also not have put him in there, if the benefit had not outweighed the risk of further infection to him and to others.
