I had been ill since around Christmas time last year, but every test I took came back negative. I got progressively worse until, finally, on Jan 31st/Feb 1st I tested positive for Covid-19.

This is the ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.

How, namely, do you explain this abject FAILURE of the tests for so long?

This needs to be explained or at least expanded upon - not mentioned and then dismissed!

The tests I was using was the kind provided by the federal government. When I showed the test kit to my doctor he scoffed at them, saying teenagers had discovered how to trick the tests to give a positive result by sticking them in a certain flavor soda pop. He didn’t tell me which one. When I pressed folks locally about them, they conveniently dropped the requirement to take the tests!
