I’m not bothered by it now. The IFR for me is around 3x10-5. I live in a city in the top 10 of per-capita homicide rates in the country. Just living here is more dangerous than SARS. The risk of getting thrush from my mask also bothers me.

The mask pressure will be a lot less after the election, so I wouldn’t worry.

There's no candida or thrush risk from a mask if you don't wear it more than a day at a time.

You wouldn't wear the same set of underwear day after day, don't do it with a mask, either.

Nobody I know has a mask for every day. Masks for which there is no standard of construction or performance. They’re almost entirely for show.
