Only for the first few people who do it and it will come at a great cost to everyone else. Classic collective action problem at work and down right dangerous thinking. If even a fraction of the population acts on this idea the rate of transmission will increase and the overall outcome of the event will be worse.

Flatten the curve. Reduce the rate of spread. Buy time to keep the strain on the health care industry as low as possible. Increase the probability that vaccinations can be produced in time to assist. And stop spreading this ridiculous idea.
