For inhalation, the generic 3m respirator would probably work. I'll have to read up though, I got it for working around pesticides. Figure if it works on those, it would work on viruses?

3M N95 rated respirators plus full seal eye protection.
Military NBC masks with fresh filters should work. You won’t catch me loading bodies with anything less than MOPP 4. Even though social media is claiming they don’t work, the 3M bulk packs are sold out at my local HD. |

Viruses are Way smaller than the holes in filters. But they may stop you from inhaling the vapors that carry the viruses.

How about just stay home?
If it gets so bad that I need PPE in public, I'm holing up and locking the gate. |

Even the respirator I have (no eye protection) gets too annoying to use a lot of the time I'm spraying pesticides. I just try to spray from upwind, and wash up before touching my face.

Just wear an N95 and standard eye pro for day to day activities, keep arms distance away from everyone.
Wash hands frequently. If you are going to be touching bodies etc. Full Mopp etc. When we did medical examinations, we wore MOPP type gear on bodies we were suspicious of what killed them. |

  On a side note, 3m dust masks will not save you from a virus. |

I recommend every 5 minutes you disinfect your eyes by spritzing them with bleach. Lemon scent is OK. Then gargle with some and take a deep breath to sanitize your air passages. I guarantee you won't catch nCoV 2019.

the corona virus is smaller than the pores of a n95 mask
the mask offers droplet protection, against the drops of junk floating in the air if someone coughs or breaths it out. you have to go full on ebola papr respirator for actual protection |

Washing hands and not being touchy touchy should be common practice. This is a weaponized virus. It’s not SARS. It’s small and really anything you buy won’t help. You need a respirator. It wouldn’t have spread so fast otherwise. Wash hands, don’t be Mr. Touch and know Jesus. |
