CDC recommends N100 now.

The N95 recommendation is outdated.

This still has N95 for Health Care Personnel (HCP) in aerosol generating procedures around Ebola patients.

Do you have a link for the N100 recommendation? I mention because the CDC often produces dual recommendations for HCP and the public, the latter who are far less likely to have intense exposure in a closed environment.

This matters because N100 are almost twice the cost, and for many the filtration makes inhalation very difficult. This is a longstanding problem with military filtered breathing equipment.
