Gee um Doctors, Nurses and Surgeons wear them all day every day. Somehow they don't have a problem.
They only wore them a few hours a week before this mass hysteria started. They're not happy about this.
They also--unlike you--are aware that in the short durations they were worn during surgery, that the sheets drawn across their faces only redirect the air to the sides and backward through the gaps around their cheeks. (That's why new residents are occasionally reminded not to turn their heads when they sneeze over an opened patient.)
By contrast, not only do you not understand that disposable masks, as used now, blow escaped air to/from the side and behind the face--but you're now being asked by the CDC to close those only gaps where gas can be arduously exchanged.

They don’t wear them on their breaks and only while with patients, my daughter is a nurse and didn’t have to wear them all day till the pandemic. Surgeons wore them during surgery, but didn’t walk around wearing them constantly.
I found a 4-ply on Amazon that's quite breathable but rigid enough so it doesn't touch my poor little sensitive nose.
I don't have to wear it more than, say, an hour at a time when out at the store, but I could easily wear this version for eight hours a day or more.
I must say, the incredible, awful inconvenience of cloth touching my nose (!) pales in comparison to the sensation of a plastic tube inserted down my throat for weeks, while I can't talk or even take care of my own urine and feces. THAT's a bit "inconvenient," I'd say.
I'm not wearing 2 masks. In fact I wasn't even wearing one yesterday. We should be talking about taking masks off, not wearing more of them. Once I'm vaccinated, that's it. It comes off unless I'm paid to keep it on.
