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.

There also was that wave of respiratory issues in 2019 that people were blaming on vaping until people just forgot about it.

It's the first time health officials have seen this kind of injury from vaping.
The Canadian teen had been vaping flavored e-cigarette pods and THC for five months before he became ill. It's not confirmed if diacetyl was in his cartridges.

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.

I had what felt like the worst cold ever in December 2019. It was followed by a lingering recovery that ended with a diagnosis for reactive airway syndrome, asthma's little brother.

Yeah I remember that too we had two coworkers who came back from trips in India and Vietnam and were really sick then we all got sick in the office, it was the first time I stayed home sick and actually went to the doctor because of how bad it was
