Why before the 20th March?
My contention is that he was taking this seriously
before he got ill with Covid-19.
You have said this:

Boris who finally admitted the pandemic exists - only after he ended up in the ICU

and variations thereof on several occasions now.
Boris tested positive for Covid-19 on March 27 - a full 4 days after the Prime Minister announced the country was going into lockdown.
I am not arguing he did a good job (I think he did a very mixed job) I am saying you are spicing your legitimate criticisms with an accusation that is blatantly false.
Could he have taken it more seriously, and sooner? Yes, I think he could have
Could a huge number of Covid-19 deaths have been avoided had a different strategy been followed and had Boris recognised the scale and speed of the threat much sooner? Yes, I think that is probably fair to say.
Did he only 'admit the pandemic exists' after he himself got ill?
No. This is not true. Please stop spreading misinformation.
