N95 and N100 masks aren’t going to help much.

The Ebola virus is 0.08 microns. The N95 mask filters down to 0.3 microns and the N100 mask, 0.1 microns.

Is not airborne. You just have to filter particulate. Essentially airborne snot. Ebola does not cause sneezing like the flu or colds.

The Ebola virus is 0.08 microns.

The Ebola virus does not survive dry, only in droplets, so the N95 mask is fine. What is not ok is having an unsealed suit. Droplets float and will get around a face shield.
