There are actually serious arguments that intentionally spreading the virus among members of subpopulations who are at low risk for mortality and are willing to accept the risk is a socially responsible practice, as it builds up herd immunity in the population at large. There are, of course, caveats to this approach which require protecting those at higher risk of mortality, including contact-tracing those who altruistically participate by attempting to become infected.
There are, of course, also serious counter-arguments (such as those given by Cotton Mather to the practice of intentionally inoculating healthy people with smallpox to build up herd immunity that was prevalent in some part of Europe before Jenner discovered that infection with the more-or-less harmless cowpox virus conferred immunity against the deadly and disfiguring smallpox virus, and for which Mather has been falsely tarred as an antiscientific bigot by the historically ignorant who think he was arguing against vaccination, properly so called, not against innoculation with live smallpox).
