I am was on a mission in south-west France at that time and the local pharmacist told me around February she was convinced Covid was there since November 2019... She saw some of her customers having strong cases flu that would not go...
I have a friend that has had COVID-19 at least one, and he swears he also got it in 2019 along with the friends he was hanging out with that weekend. There are probably lots of instances like this and we may never know for sure.
What makes you think this could ever be a one month thing? A Belgian hospital did an experiment and tested everyone coming in with no COVID-19 symptoms (broken legs etc.). They found 8% of those were carrying and spreading the virus and were completely unaware of it.
