You are probably 100% correct. However, I did work with engineers during that time who had recently traveled from Wuhan and seen family there. I also passed through both SFO and SEA airports at very busy times at the end of December/beginning of January, and had been in LA at tourist areas with tour buses full of people. So it may not be incredibly likely, but there's a chance. And again, could be allergies, but I'm not sure they'd suddenly start being this much of a problem at my age (late 20's/early 30's). But I'm no expert.

I flew from Cancun to SEA in the beginning of January 2020. Lots and lots of people did. Did those engineers get sick, before you were symptomatic, and had you had close contact with them (meetings, dinners, etc)? And did you have the characteristic loss of taste/smell? If you can answer 'yes' to all of those (including that they were definitely sick with the correct timeframe) then you've got at least a better case than most people who got sick in Jan 2020. But even given someone who had visited Wuhan in early Jan and had respiratory symptoms, it is more likely that it wasn't SARS-CoV-2 and it was just normal influenza/cold-like viruses. And you can definitely have allergies get worse as you age, late 20s is probably when mine got bad, and they've gotten worse over time and I get sore throats now and they feel nearly like a cold. My Birch allergy got really noticeable sometime in the last 10 years. Get an allergy test, though, and see.
