It may not have been covid-19, without a test we'll never know. It wouldn't at all surprise me for it to have been present in UK and elsewhere before Christmas; highly infectious, low payload. Possible mutation? Who knows?
Is it normal for a GP to say 'by the way, a few months ago you probably had X', having done no tests for it? Do they do that sort of thing?

If it's highly infectious, is it likely to have laid low for weeks and then suddenly exploded all around the world at roughly the same time?
