ber and even early February with regards to coronavirus? Is it possible all the people back in Dec and Jan who had these symptoms couldn't have been from Covid or do the experts know for sure it's only been in the U.S. since mid January at the absolute earliest?
Early reports out of New York’s testing show that over 90% of the people tested that thought they had it tested negative. Part of the problem with testing and lack of supplies is the strain on the system based on mitigation initiatives. Too many resources allocated to testing people that don’t have it.
You probably had a cold (which I think is also a Coronavirus)

The common cold is actually from one of the rhinoviruses. I usually go to a doc in the box (i.e. Emergicare) every year when I get one (or more) colds and they identify it as such. They had no clue what it was (other than it wasn't the flu) this year.
I tend to believe I only had a cold too but I've never had a cold that caused me to miss nearly a week or work like both of these did. Not to mention the asthma like symptoms (I've never had asthma in my life) and the unusual lack of congestion involved especially with the bout I had in early February.

If he had something in January or February wouldn't they need a PCR assay to determine if he had antibodies for the covid19?
If he had recovered certainly the nasal swab test on him would be worthless.
