Lockdown doesn't mean muscle atrophy. You can still do a lot at home even without equipment. Besides, if you want to continue to assume it causes muscle atrophy, then compare a population with muscle atrophy to a population with (likely) permanent organ damage due to a vascular disease (covid).

Whether or not this leads to ling-term damage is unknown, but myocarditis isn't generally something you ignore. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/17/opinion/covid-19-heart-disease.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/17/opinion/covid-19-heart-di... https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertglatter/2020/08/17/covid-19-can-cause-heart-damageeven-if-you-are-asymptomatic/#747142126cef https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertglatter/2020/08/17/covid-...

That's the first article that shows for googling [covid-19 vascular disease]. Basically my understanding of the current understanding is that COVID-19 is better thought of as a disease that can cause blood clots, particularly in several organ systems, particularly in the lungs -- you start getting blood clots in your lungs and consequently can't breathe very well.
