The CDC is recommending N95 masks; meanwhile, they still mandate level 4 containment facilities and protocols for their own work with this extremely high consequence pathogen. The CDC also tells us that Ebola is not an airborne pathogen despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. and the media is regurgitating the misinformation. Ebola is transmissable in aerosolized droplets produced by coughing, sneezing, vomitting, urinating, defecating, flushing a toilet, etc. It only takes 1-10 aerosilized viral units landing anywhere in your respiratory tract or mucous membranes to cause the disease. millions of viruses may be aerosolized by sneezing or coughing. An N95 mask filters out 95% of airborn particles. I'm pretty sure that 5% that makes it through the mask to your respiratory tract is more than 1-10.

I read that aerosolized droplets can be as small as 1 micron and stay airborne for many hours. N95 doesn’t capture anything nearly that small

I still have no answer to this question:

What if someone gets flu with Ebola? Will that flu symptoms intensify the spread of the Ebola? I'm guessing nobody knows.
