This is anecdotal but I think it is an important question. My wife's sister-in-law just told her that her coworker was hospitalized with severe shortness of breath. They are required to wear a mask at all times on the job, and the doctor says she got pleurisy from rebreathing her own moisture for so long every day.

It's my understanding pleurisy is an inflammation caused by infection of the outermost layer of the lung tissue, like the "skin" of the lungs.
There are treatments for it now, still not something anyone would want to have.
How and why?
Did her lung x-ray also show signs of atelectasis?
Individuals simply cannot just get pleurisy from breathing her own respective moisture all day long.
Do you have a medical degree yourself? If so, where do you practice, and what is your bank account details?
Why?
