From what I remember him saying from multiple segments, he first used R2.5 as a number, this was based on multiple studies showing the R number will be between 2.3-2.7 if society does nothing. Then he changed the R number to 1.6 on march 16 as our government gave guidelines/recommendation to people and companies. He also talked about hospital, he said something about how fast people coming in and out from the hospital. The last I heard him saying is using daily dead. Those are the 3 numbers I heard him using, some kind of hospital number, daily dead and R number. But as Forest-spirit mention, he recently reduced the infection spread a bit as the daily dead number didn't increase at the rate he thought it would.
And Stockholm metro has 2.3 million people not 1 Million, you can see this on his chart here on TV.
I don't think it helps, it seems to be more of a culture thing. Even before this virus I would sometimes see asian people wearing a face mask, it makes no sense to me.

There are several perfectly legitimate reasons to wear face masks. The main one is to prevent spreading illness by sneezing or coughing on things when you have a cold. Which I think is quite courteous.

All within reason ofcourse,do not wear them if you do not need to get close to others.
Medical staff are having face mask shortages so any mask not being overly used can be a savior for them,i have seen people walking with no one around in the wide area and wearing them and that is such a waste for such an important item in these times.
Some people clearly have a lack of understanding of this situation and it is hard to blame them with so many contradicting articles.
