    For the last two days I have been laying low parked in my truck with a moderate fever, cough, and thick shallow breathing.

    Today though I feel normal again. Not just better but really am back to normal. Assuming I've got the China bug here, any chance of a relapse? How long will I be contagious? Will wearing a mask and gloves be enough to protect the other people that I have to interact with?

    I no longer have a single symptom.

    Covid 19 comes and goes, the symptoms. Sneaks up on you. There's always a chance that you already had the virus much longer in an asymptomatic phase and you were nearing the end. If you can go 3 days with no fever and other worsening symptoms then you either didn't have it or are resolved (according to the CDC). Then only an antibodies test will confirm, once readily available.

    You can shed the virus for up to 37 days.

    Lot of good reading over on the Lancet.
