But...if there had been no lockdown and infections were running

at a significantly higher rate than they already were, and even more people were dying, and the hospitals were even more overwhelmed, would people have been rushing to their cancer appointments then?

I think that study is very narrow. It's accurate, but it's only a part of the bigger picture.
