I had a cunt of a cold in December
Funnily enough, I had exactly this; I wouldn't have been able to crawl across a ploughed field for a stack of £50 notes.
It started with a nagging dry cough that wouldn't do one for weeks, then turned in to three days of utter shite. On day four I tried fixing a bike, after about 20 mins I was back in bed.
But! No fever.
I'm also vaccinated against the most popular flu strains.

I'm not thinking of the cold I had on and off for a few weeks too. Didn't think of taking my temp at the time and just put it down to a seasonal thing.

We will be sure to find out soon I guess but given how hard and fast it's spread since detected and how interconnected/international we are now, if out and about pre-December our Christmas migration would have undoubtedly done for covid what the Chinese New year's celebrations did for it too.

Lots of anecdotal "first cases were identified in November, was probably going around before then and I had a cunt of a cold in December" stories coming from around the globe.
How likely is it that this has been a pandemic far longer than known and a significant number of people internationally have indeed already had it?
Again, anecdotally, partner and I were both bed ridden for a week in December with a strangely dry cold that never came to much in terms of mucus but hung around for a couple of weeks. Makes me wonder as we both work in germ-pit offices with high international populations.
