how well would this defend from ebola outbreak?

I'm not a qualified health worker but can answer this question from a common knowledge basis. The Ebola virus is not an airborne virus. It is transmitted by direct contact. Per the WHO, "Ebola ...spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids." So, generally this respirator will not directly defend or protect one from the Ebola virus. However, it can provide secondary or indirect protection. Wearing the respirator will protect the mouth, nose and parts of the face from exposure to or contact with infected hands or other body parts or body fluids/blood. This is the best response that I can give. I recommend contacting qualified health care workers for more information.

the real answer is "who knows?" however I read a study that said that when it comes to the flu, they found that masks of any kind seemed to help. they didn't see a big difference between one type of mask and another. If you google around you can find the studies.

YES. The ebola virus is 0.08 microns in size. Almost no filter will remove this. BUT the LifeStraw Family filters to 0.02 microns, so yes ebola would be filtered out. That is if it mutates to survive in our water supply, which is unknown.

It would not be as effective. It is used mostly as a smacking defense. There are a few YouTube vids demonstrating on how it works.

Very funny Berta. No I would not expect it could be used for the Ebola virus, however, if you were suddenly caught up in a food fight, no peanut butter sandwich can penetrate it! ;)

I haven't had a fire or flood so I can't say for certain. However, looking at the way it sealed inside and out, I'm fairly confident that it could resist quite a bit of water and/or fire for a short period of time.

I use it on my children's tablets. So far it has protected well. It's not going to protect like an otterbox, as far as falls go. But if you purchase the next book at walmart it's $109 total with insurance and all.

from what Ive seen from 3ms website, it looks like particulate filters are used for biological with the minimum being something like the 3M 2091 P100 Particulate Filter. Some of the cartridge filters appear to also have a particulate ability and p100 rating, but Im still figuring this all out. In regards to ebola and respiratory protection follow the link below, or if you dont like clicking on links, then just google "Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Ebola virus disease (EVD)" You will see the link to 3m's pdf file http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawebserver?66666UgxGCuNyVs658T_OxM6EVtQEcuZgVs6EVs6E666666--

My experience is that the case is very sturdy. The middle pocket is very well padded. I would expect the case would protect a device inside it, if the case were dropped. But I have not put that particular situation to the test.

It is durable. It is made of thick flexible rubber and plastic that flexs a little, so I think the case would do well to protect the device. It would spread or absorb the shock from a fall pretty well

Protects well from its environment and maybe a short fall. Probably not very effective against a hard fall or one from a good height. Never have dropped my tablet so I can't say for sure.

The booklet does not say it feels kind of rubbery but with screws at the back I would say it is resistant, I would not run out in a heavy rain with it. In a light rain it is probably fine? I think I would stand on the porch or under an umbrella. The 3 buttons are rubber, seems to be sealed rather well , the battery has a screw cover. But there is no information on what you are asking. try www.ambientweather.com I can say I have had no problems with my unit. It picked up winds of 21mph which is what was reported in the area at the time.

I use mine to protect my music equipment from generators. I haven't had a problem yet.

Yes your screen should be safe. The front edges and corners are raised and will protect it.

I believe this would work very well for you--as long as you are not pressed against the side--and even then I don't think they could bight through....I believe this was originally designed for emergency situations with just such issues/potentials--to prevent the spread of disease in catastrophe situations. Best and safe travels!

This case will protect to an extent. I have had no problems with its working okay. It is flimsy though. It won't protect the screen. You get what you pay for, and this is inexpensive, but it fits snugly and protects to the extent you would imagine by looking at the photos

you can use a ground cover,avail thru amazon, to protect it. its a light material that keeps out some pests.

I'm not qualified to answer that question you should ask the manufacturer. However if it were me I would think it better to protect the child then take a chance on getting bitten and getting some illness. I do know they work well. Another thing is to put an unused fabric softner sheet in the pocket of the child this also will help with the bugs.
