This question is radioactive right now, but it's starting to look possible that this is true (or at least that the effect is a lot smaller than supposed). Worth noting that the relative alternative is "asking people to socially distance, wear masks in some contexts, perhaps contact tracing, etc". It's not "don't worry, be happy". Also worth noting that lockdown is not "free", in terms of human death and misery. We know it will itself cause a lot of this.
