I’m not wearing a mask!
“I’m not wearing a mask!”
Don’t it won’t help you at all, N95 masks are not going to stop micron sized droplets in mid to late stage Ebola. You need full face shield silicon sealed P100 or better respirators not masks. 40 mm NATO rated NBC filters would also work the B in NBC is for biological warfare. Ebola is THE bug of choice for biowar encapsulated for UV resistance allows for air deployment in micron sized droplets that have float times in hours or days of dropped at FL100 or higher.
Regular unmodified Ebola can linger from coughs, vomit cast off or sneezes in a room for minutes to hours depending on the droplet size single digit micron sized have hang time , double digit drop out in a few min. It’s luck of the draw if.you intake one or one gets dropped into an eye. Nurse Nina got drops behind a face shield and either through her N95 mask or into an eye either way both the face shield and the mask were not effective PPE. That’s documented fact as there was no other means of transmission. Being double gloves and double arm coverings down to booties over the footwear.
So yeah don’t wear a mask, you actually need a full face respirator and really a positive pressure full bio suit wi th a SCBA like the NBC guys use if you want assured protection. Without a suit a tiny skin abrasion or sore or scratch is enough , microscope in size it takes 50 ish Ebola virons to over run your system a single drop in the 3 micron range has that much in it or more one of those you touch and get it into a scratch, micro abrasion, eye, nose,mouth or even ear mucous membrane and you will seroconvert and eventually show active virus symptoms.
This is what I did first out of OCS for the military command of a platoon of NBC soldiers we had the Darth Vader suits exactly what you need for this level BL4 level bug. Just getting in and out of them without cross contamination rendering them useless is a skill joe six pack is not going to accomplish. Again don’t worry about the mask it’s WORTHLESS to you. Even if you had a suit the odds of using it properly are near zero. You need airlock tents, standing decon pools, UV lights, hospital or better yet military grade disinfectants.
