Watching BBC news right now, two anchor people talkin', seems to me he's gotten preferential treatment, as it is not an emergency of any kind, he was in hospital, as they say it there, just on precautionary measures, as his symptoms had lasted more than 10 days. Though they could be lying about it not being an emergency.

Put me down for it's a lie. (disclaimer: I have a long history of wishful thinking...)

Hospitalization makes Johnson appear weak. Prince Charles didn't require any aid that we know about, so I'm thinking that this is real.

For sure. This is, after all, a guy who could move three doctors and five

Apparently, Johnson was treated with oxygen

I love it when a plan comes together...

LOL
Edit to add:
This is consistent with an initial bronchitis followed 5-7 days later by pneumonia.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has admitted to intensive care with coronavirus symptoms after this condition worsened over Monday afternoon.
A spokesperson for No.10 said: “Since Sunday evening, the Prime Minister has been under the care of doctors at St Thomas’ Hospital, in London, after being admitted with persistent symptoms of coronavirus.
“Over the course of this afternoon, the condition of the Prime Minister has worsened and, on the advice of his medical team, he has been moved to the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital.
“The PM has asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who is the First Secretary of State, to deputise for him where necessary.

That's what they said to Kathy Griffin, too...
Does ICU automatically - ventilator?
ETA, let us remember:

Can't think of another reason to move him to ICU. The level of virus exposure would be higher in ICU given infected sputum and mucous from patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Aggressive oxygenation would be the only reason for the move and run the risk.

The crash with this shit is precipitous...

Well, WSJ says that he is not on a vent yet
As Mr. Johnson’s condition worsened, he deputized his foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, to run the government, a spokesman said. The 55-year-old premier was conscious when he was wheeled into the intensive care unit of a central London hospital at around 7 p.m. local time, a step taken in case he needed to be put on a ventilator, an official said.

Guy on Fox (I watch so you don't have to...) says the morning papers in London will say "Boris Johnson fighting for his life"
He has deputized Raab and now is not acting as PM

Tonight they're saying "Trump sends his prayers". If that doesn't kill him, the aquarium cleaner's bound to. If only Putin knew how to move to new woke times, rather than all this falling from balconies and radioactive poisoning...

Looking like Boris is still going to be with us unless he has a relapse: UK's Johnson out of intensive care as his condition improves @ A.P., April 9. So now we'll be moving on to the question of whether he got what everybody else would get under NHS.
