I live in shared house and guy opposite has announced he went to the doctors and tested positive for it.
I share a shower and toilet with him. 
Am I gonna die?
My landlord says I just have to wear a mask and gloves now.

You already got it, so no sense stressing about it.

He's clearly a plant by Bill Gates - since you're a dissenter to his nefarious plan - to push you to take his vaccine and submit to his control.

You've almost certainly already been exposed to it at this point, unfortunately. Hopefully you have the mildest case possible.
The good news is that the odds are still massively in your favor unless you're 75 - and even then, they are still in your favor. Vitamin D, zinc, melatonin, eat the rainbow as much as possible. I would urge you to get a cheap pulse oximeter so both you and your roommate can keep an eye on oxygen saturation - if it's dipping below 94, call a doctor, if it's below 90, go to the er.

That's the one I got, and I've been happy with it - although I've mostly been using it to track my baseline and for fitness reasons.

You might not even feel anything from it, or you could be one of the unlucky people that get the worst of it. Just wait it out, get help if you end up feeling you need it.

Since he admits to showering together with his roomie, they probably share the bed too.
Jp’in,
Love ya Slothy
Take care of yourself man. Like others said an oximeter is good, and that plus a thermometer so that you can check yourself a few times a day. Keep us updated so we can Know how you are doing over the next couple weeks amigo. Lots of fluids and good food and rest for you !

If you have more than one bathroom in the house, covid positive people should definitely not share a bathroom with the uninfected

Studies are showing that more than 50% of asymptomatic cases have lung inflammation that could leave permanent scarring of tissue. Nobody should be downplaying the consequences of getting covid-19
The thing about pneumonia, especially when it doesn’t induce mucous production, is it can get quite severe without being symptomatic until you exert yourself. I bet a lot of these asymptomatic people would no longer be asymtomatic if you put them on a treadmill.

I ran a mile shortly after recovering from corona virus. I'm not even a fit person and I don't run for fun, but there was a BBQ for free down the road a ways and it wouldn't fit in my car.
Lungs seem fine to me.

Did you know that most people recover from Coronavirus?
," Tom Duszynski, director of epidemiology education at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, wrote in The Conversation. "A person who was infected with and survived a virus with no long-term health effects or disabilities has 'recovered.'"

Is there any way to induce mucus production? Would it even help if there were?
I know when I grew oyster mushrooms, the spores induced the hell out of lung mucus production in me.

I’m not sure it would be less severe if it was productive, you would just notice it more.
