I might have had it in the spring of 2020. I got a flat tire on the way to get tested, never got the test. I did get fully vaccinated several months ago. I had frequent bouts of fatigue for months afterward.

News Release 22-Jun-2021
More than 16 million Americans undiagnosed with COVID-19 during first wave, estimates antibody analysis
American Association for the Advancement of Science
As many as 16.8 million Americans had undiagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infections - 5 times the rate of diagnosed infections - by the end of July of 2020, according to an analysis of antibodies from more than 8,000 previously undiagnosed adults collected during the pandemic's first wave. The authors calculated that almost 5% of the undiagnosed U.S. population harbored SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, with the highest positivity rates among African Americans, those under the age of 45, urban dwellers, and women. The results suggest a larger spread of COVID-19 in the U.S. than originally suspected in previous reports. SARS-CoV-2 can stealthily cause asymptomatic infections in some individuals, who can still spread the disease to others. This property has frustrated health authorities' efforts to track down the true number of infected people, especially during the pandemic's early stages in the spring and summer of 2020.
