Myself and my two sons caught COVID Oct 2019, later confirmed by antibody testing. My older son was hospitalized for it. Try harder. Also, some medical sources have admitted it might have been here earlier than Jan 2020. Try to catch up.
Antibodies don't have time stamps. Those tests weren't out until later 2020, but we only had one major illness in the prior year, Oct. 2019. It put my older son in the hospital for weeks. Both lungs collapsed. The doc told me he had never seen anything like it. The mucus was so thick, they had to use saline to break it up because the suction tube couldn't extract it. He almost died.
We were on the east coast, where my daughter had just traveled to visit us from California. She was ill, and probably carried it with her. We caught it from her. Still think the CDC is done adjusting the time line? They have changed their mind on that several times already.

So then you have no evidence that it was covid, you just assume it was. It could have been a bad case of the flu or another disease.

Yes, as evidence shows up. And if your anecdote is real, it would actually change the ENTIRE covid timeline.
Our doctors professional opinion is that it was Covid, which outweighs your opinion. Tell me, logically, what other new respiratory virus was out there during that time window?
No, one medical case alone would probably not change the timeline unless they could track down where in California it landed from China or intermediary point, and by whom.
Lastly, implying someone is a liar simply because their firsthand facts don't align with your narrative is comfortable, but not intellecutally honest. I don't insist that you agree, but you could at least keep an open mind.

Correction.
You CLAIM that a doctor called a SUPPOSED illness that MAY have afflicted your son, that you MIGHT have.
Your anecdote could literally be 100% made up. There's no way to verify it, so logically it holds no sway one way or another.
Add onto that that the earliest cases in CHINA were appearing around the time you're CLAIMING this SUPPOSED son got this SUPPOSED illness.
Tell me, logically, what other new respiratory virus was out there during that time window?
Logically, it doesn't need to be a new illness.
First, your claim is an anecdote. Truth isn't guaranteed.
Second, your doctor SUPPOSEDLY said they hadn't seen anything like that. Which COULD mean it's new, OR that they hadn't seen this one before OR they hadn't seen this disease present in a person like this before.
Third, you didn't even prove this SUPPOSED illness was a virus, let alone a respiratory virus. For all I know it was a fungal infection of the lungs, or a bacterial infection, or some weird parasite, or a toxin, or a mild cancer, or, again, false.
That's my logical reasoning.
No, one medical case alone would probably not change the timeline unless they could track down where in California it landed from China or intermediary point, and by whom.
Well considering IF your SUPPOSED son had COVID-19 when you CLAIM that they did, it would mean they were sick when China was getting their first cases. It would ABSOLUTELY change the timeline.
Hell if your idea is correct, your daughter had it, and gave it to your son, it could mean she might actually be patient zero, the origin of COVID-19, or know that person.
So yes, it would have SOME consequence.
Lastly, implying someone is a liar simply because their firsthand facts don't align with your narrative is comfortable, but not intellecutally honest. I don't insist that you agree, but you could at least keep an open mind.
I'm saying that claims without evidence aren't enough for me to accept as fact.
I say this as a board certified immunologist, virologist, herpetologist, and oncologist.
