I was sick with a Coronavirus in November of 2019 but it wasn't Covid-19

Back in November of 2019, when we had company over for Thanksgiving, we enjoyed the delicious meal and all the festivities and having a good time with family and friends, but a few days later, both my wife and myself came down with an upper respiratory infection that lingered and only got worse. The flu or cold we had was a version of coronavirus, but not Covid-19. In fact, I went to talk to some people in my neighborhood at the store where we shop and the library and found out that several others had similar long lasting, for weeks, upper respiratory infections that were unusually difficult to get rid of and of course, we had to stay at home and get well, even before the announcement by the CDC and the local news media mentioned that there was a new virus from Wuhan China later on in or around February or March of 2020. Before the pandemic actually resulted in shut downs, we were still able to shop without masks and go to the hair salon to get a hair cut. But I noticed somethings different. Like, in the Kroger Lobby, there were placed for public use, containers of hand sanitizer cloths to use to wipe down our shopping carts. I wondered why these precautions? This reminded me of the local county hospitals where, for several years now, there were foam sanitizer dispensers that were all over the hospital for the public and I also noticed that Walmart had put new motion sensor faucets that when you passed your hands under them would provide running water so you did not have to touch the handle but this I thought was for preventing water waste by the customers. I soon became aware of certain people walking in retail stores, around January through February and March of 2020 wearing face masks. I asked myself, Why are these people wearing masks? Do they have some kind of contagious disease or are they hyper allergic to the air? By the time I began to search online and found out that a new Covid-19 virus was being detected in China and YouTube started uploading all kinds of documentaries of people wearing surgical masks, face shields and hospital garments and latex gloves and people behaving in a state of panic and then body bags and people falling down on the streets I became very concerned. So I did more research and by the time I realized that China was the epicenter of a new very seriously dangerous contagious virus called SARS COV-2 Coronavirus or Covid-19, and the first case of a person in Seattle, Washington was reported I started talking on social media with my friends on Facebook and YouTube and was provided all kinds of links and thus began my investigation in the new age of Covid-19 and I started a Facebook Group called All About Covid-19 (and how to survive the pandemic) Now fast forward to the present to October 11, 2020 on a Sunday I see that over 210,000 people in the USA alone have passed from complications of this new virus. And millions all over the world have tested positive for it. Now I begin to wonder if I had Covid-19. Maybe the virus hit America before March of 2020. Maybe it hit America back as far as October of 2019? Still I do not know, but when I got over the flu I had been given a vaccine back in October of 2019 and just a month later came down with an unusually strong chest infection and it took over 4 weeks to get well from it, this seemed to me as if maybe, I had got covid-19 but thought it was just the flu? My wife tested Negative for covid-19 back in July of this year. So we always wear a mask when out and we seldom go out unless absolutely necessary. Social distancing, surgical face mask and hand sanitizer. But I wonder if anyone on the planet thinks this virus is just another coronavirus like SARS or Influenza A or B or a completely different and more contagious virus that may or may not be the result of Bio engineering in a lab somewhere? Perhaps from Wuhan China? The idea is still on my mind and I have no confirmation for or against this hypothesis. They say it was just a random mutation that came from bats to humans then from human to human but what about dogs, cats, and other animals? Why don't they get covid-19?
