Just as an aside, it's not necessarily the case that all your family would get infected if one of you does... in studies the proportion of family members who get infected is between 10-50%: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...

My wife got infected around 10 days ago (PCR confirmed last Wednesday, now seemingly recovered and testing negative) and while I exhibited some very mild cold symptoms (fatigue, joint pain, a single high temperature reading) it never went beyond that (so far, knock on wood) and I tested negative when tested at the same time...

Good point about the flu. I also had some flu symptoms around that time and always tested negative on antibody tests.

The flu is super rare now because of masks and no travel. Did u get tested when symptomatic?

I did, and also had both an antigen and antibody test since both negative... but I’m prepared to believe my symptoms may have been psychosomatic.
