In this particular case it was the worst cough I had ever had by a fairly wide margin. This was definitely not a case of us having the sniffles and thinking we might have caught covid.

And for the record, I don't necessarily think it was COVID. Just confirming the OP's anecdote that there was definitely something that was going around at that time.

I had one of the flu variants (tested positive for flu) from 2019-20 in December, followed by a really bad cold (no tests) in Feb, followed by COVID (confirmed by tested contacts, an antibody test and a fully checked "weird COVID symptoms" bingo card) in March.

2019-20 was definitely a season for nasty colds/flus, not just COVID.
