and this time it is a positive positive. He is experiencing mild symptoms. He will moss this weeks game against Auburn. Saban positive with Covid - ( New Window )
Looks like it's all good, he's experiencing mild symptoms, and
At his age, even with just mild symptoms now, he could still be dead by the end of the week.
He could also get hit by a bus or struck by lightning but that's pretty unlikely as well. The treatment he has access to and the current strain that is around in most places makes him dying from Covid highly unlikely.

Thanks. I never knew that. I remember he needed to have something like three straight day of negative testing to coach against Georgia...?
But I thought he was coming out of actually having the virus...
bw, he had a positive test (later discovered a false positive) and was ruled out to coach against Georgia at first. Then he needed and had 3 consecutive negatives to be able to go, last one was on Saturday morning IIRC and made the trip 2 hours before the game.

First was a false positive.

Same test,
Same machine,
Same Nurse,
2 Positives + 2 Negatives
He then said, "There is something extremely bogus going on".

The rapid tests have a ~30% false negative rate. At that false negative rate that outcome wouldn't be uncommon.

he will have the best doctors. he's the coach of 'Bama, in the SEC. it's not like he's the coach of Rutgers.

That escalated quickly.
