We certainly got vaccinated, but it could be better. But masks are few and far between. There was a recommendation to wear them on some public transport for a while (and might come back, due to Omicron), but my very unscientific anecdata I'd say less than 1% of people I see wear masks. Going through the central station in Stockholm in rush hour, seeing hundreds if not thousands of people, and you can probably count the number of mask wearers on your fingers. I would follow any mask mandate, but the experience here (from my point of view) is that they don't seem to help that much. Otherwise we should have an absolute explosion of cases right now, compared to other European countries. My personal theory is that people don't use them properly; look at people on tv, constantly adjusting them, or wearing them under the chin, reusing single-use masks, etc. There's been an uptick in cases during the last week or so[1], but compare it to eg. Germany[2] that have had a strong mask mandate for a long time. I don't understand it either.
