You came to a conclusion based on questionable assumptions. You have no idea if you had it, and we don’t know what the true number is. So we have to rely on available statistics.
I do know that I read the first patient in Wuhan is believed to be mid-November or earlier and since we were not locking down Wuhan for a MONTH AND A HALF, that it's quite likely this traveled the globe before anyone caught it because nobody COULD test for it. Tens of thousands of people were coming and going from Hubei daily; I guess all those people and their destinations got super duper lucky?
You have no idea how many people have it either. You are fear-mongering based off OBVIOUSLY flawed statistics because we have not been able to test.
I got a weird illness that I thought was a flu in early January. I've had plenty of flus before, so I thought no big deal. I never threw up, but felt nauseous for 5 days. With the flu, its normally 2 or 3 for me. I had a dry hacking cough for 2 weeks with it being severe the first week. Major sinus issues for a week. Now the weird part is I had green snot for over 3 weeks, like my body was fighting an infection - and some hacking coughing going on the whole time. I've never seen green snot past day 4 or 5 of a sickness before - and there was lots of it, more than I'd ever had for any other sickness. Nobody around me seemed to get sick though, which was weird. The killer though is I didn't get symptoms until 4 or 5 days after I was in contact with a family member who was also sick with something and also for a much longer time than he normally gets sick. For several weeks I was also sleeping way more than normal, a couple times as long as 11-12 hours, like double my normal night.
Maybe it was covid 19? Maybe just a "bad flu", maybe something else?
