CDC is recommending the N95 for aerosols: spraying vomit off your car after a patient with Ebola vomits on it, power-washing the sidewalk after a liar from Liberia vomits there, etc. This isn't for individual virus particles in the air (not believed to happen with Ebola), just for droplets that may include the Ebola virus. It makes sense. I have an appropriate number of N95 masks just in case they are needed, and I'd rather wear the N95 than deal with the discomfort of one with a better filter.

If the droplet evaporates before it lands on something, doesn’t that just leave the virus in the air?
