It's interesting that starting in August, I began seeing more and more people wearing masks on their own, and every month more people start wearing them.

Overwhelmingly it's younger people in their 20s, followed by older people, but very few other groups wear them. Meanwhile, public transit gets progressively more crowded every week, and we're seemingly almost at pre-COVID levels
Even with case numbers rising?

Yes. While Stockholm was basically a ghost town between March 17th and end of May, by June there was a small bump in activity, then back to a ghost town in July during the summer holidays, but then in August people returned to the city and through the end of October it felt like COVID was just not a thing. We were almost back to January 2020 levels of activity.

But over the past month the warnings have gotten more and more shrill/urgent with stricter limitations, and I think people are starting to get a bit scared again. But I doubt we'll go back to the level of caution that existed in the March - June period.

That seems to be a problem in most countries.
