Ebola Zaire is one of five strains of Ebola that are currently known, and only one, Ebola Reston, is not fatal in humans.
Ebola Zaire — the strain currently in circulation — has a death rate approaching 90%.
An N95 mask will not do the job in protecting one from Ebola Zaïre. If it is all that one may have, it is at least a start in trying to protect oneself from the virus. A full face respirator, however, is what one would need.

[I do wonder about what is being called Ebola. Much of what I have read sounds more like the Marburg Virus, and there has been a recent case of Marburg in Uganda. Of course, I do not know. But I heard a Flemish infectious disease specialist say that something is fundamentally different in this outbreak of Ebola, and one wonders if it is Ebola Zaire or rather a newly mutated form of the terrible disease. May God be merciful to us and save us. In Jesus' Name. Amen.]
