Asymptomatic diseases or illnesses?

Good day to you! Thanks for the question.
Firstly, your question is a very complex one, as there are a lot of "diseases" that may be hosted on a human body with NO or "VERY LATENT" symptoms. There are humans who do not react to a "particular disease," specifically infectious diseases that may be very silent in a body, but they may have a very different expression in another body. Therefore, each and every "situation/clinical presence" should be treated as "individual case," in  relation with the body of the person infected with that pathogen. This kind of presentation should be addressed individually. I am sorry, you may be disappointed with my reply, but that is the best on my humble opinion.
My best to you! Take care and stay safe!   

Is it EBV or CMV?

Good day to you! Thanks for your question.

MONONUCLEOSIS is a viral infection, especially in childhood and young people.In the mean time is quit often a double infection with CMV (Cytomegalovirus). The clinical presentation of both diseases is very much similar. EBV and CMV belong to the same viral family. I do not have any doubt as long as in October 2021 you were positive for both viruses (in medical language this is named "coinfection." In my opinion, you should not worry very much. Usually the disease last for at least SIX (6) months, even longer. There is not very much to do, except your condition is worsening. You are very wright, CMV is transmitted by/with saliva/kissing, because CMV is hosted in "salivary  glands", being disseminated by saliva (kissing/spitting...). Symptoms of infection with RBV&CMV may include fever, swollen lymph nodes, and an enlarged liver and/or spleen. More serious complications (may include anemia, nerve damage, liver failure, and/or interstitial pneumonia. Symptoms may be constant or come and go, and tend to get worse over time. Very rare (statistically) chronic mononucleosis may occur when the virus remains ‘active’ and the symptoms of an EBV infection do not go away. What also you have to take into account is the EBV my stay in a latent form (is neutral) in the body for many years, even decades, without any clinical presentation. However, recovery is generally complete, but post-viral asthenia may persist for months. If you have any comorbidities, it is strongly recommended to make periodic visits to your physician for evaluation of your health condition.
I do hope I was able to clarify some aspects of your disease.
Good luck and stay safe,

Good day to you. Thanks for your question. 
Shingles is not transmitted by air/respiratory ways. It can be transmitted by direct contact especially if the skin is "injured" like irritation, small skin cuts, scratches, and so on. I do not see any impediment to attend the Thanksgiving dinner. Just keep your hands clean, disinfect your affected areas with usual disinfectants, and use some ointments to cover affected area. Take something for reduce pain (like acetaminophen). Hygiene is the key to protect yourself and the others you may get in touch.

Chance of getting covid if you were wearing a mask?

Good morning to you. Thanks for your question.

SARS-CoV-2 virus is transmitted by air, but there is also the risk to contaminate yourself by touching contaminated objects or surfaces with the virus. Therefore, apart from wearing a face mask, personnel hygiene ( washing your hand as often as possible, in highly dusted and contaminated environment wearing gloves, washing clothes as often as possible is also important. Cleaning the house daily, using disinfectants for air and surfaces in the house as well as at your working place, cleaning and wipe  your desk  with disinfectants are preventive measures very simple but extremely efficient in maintaining  the close environment. In respect of your query about getting infected with Covid 19, there is only one method to find out the reality: testing for SARS-CoV-2 is the only one method giving you the appropriate answer.
Take care and stay safe,
