> A bad mask (eg a bandanna) means less virus gets out, but it is more likely to get out in the form of a fine aerosol

Do you have a reference for this? I've only ever heard of aerosolization primarily being a concern around people on breathing assistance equipment.

I can't find the source I saw it in, but the idea is this. If you cough, large droplets coat the inside of the cloth, and then are forced through the weave of the cloth and come out as small droplets. The smaller the droplet, the better it hangs out in the air.
