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.

This is a perfect paraphrase of my situation(see previous post).
I just simply believe there’s too many of these stories to discount it.
ETA: I meant I could paraphrase my situation with your post, not that you paraphrased my post. Just in case you took it the wrong way.

Well we also test for 4 other strains of corona virus that cause respiratory issues, aka the common cold.
There are a bunch of rhino, corona, para influenza and don't forget the big killer in this group that causes pneumonia....
Streptococcus Pneumoniae, that little bastard used to get me non stop when I had sinus infections. It is a killer and a bacteria and many people wait to long before they come in and get septic.

A Coronavirus also accounts for some common colds.
You likely did not have covid-19. Either way sounds like you are well now so good news.
