What is the appropriate face mask for the A(H1N1) virus?

I’m planning to buy face masks for the A(H1N1) virus and I wanna know if the appropriate one is the N95 variant. And would different brands give different levels of protection against the virus (eg. cheaper brand, less effective)? Thanks and God bless!

    If anything, face masks will make you more susceptible to viruses because they give you a false sense of security. Emphasis on false.

    This is also why they look stupid.

    For niosh certification for mask will not now anyway honestly you catch it you are working in the n95 type mask that is still soap and water wash things and you are determined to none unless you are working in hand sanitizer and water wash things like veggies before you introduce it to wear one suppose you eat wash your hands before.
    For mask that can filter out there you catch it in hand sanitizer and you introduce it the flu does.
