I'm fairly certain I had it in November of 2019. My whole family was sick with what we figured was a bad flu, but it left my wife with more significant respiratory issues on top of her asthma. On top of that I somehow avoided getting Covid until 2022, despite several outbreaks at work to the point of literally working alongside people who later test positive. It was kind of incredible at the time, but if I already had antibodies then that would make a lot more sense.

There's not much of a way for it to start in China in Nov and then by the end of the month it ends up in bumfuck rural America. I'm sure we had the shit brewing for months before it was detected on the other side of the world.

I can add that same anecdote myself, sick in late 2019 and avoided covid until catching it in 2022.

Both times I distinctly remember it starting with an unusual scratchy sensation in my throat.
