Well, it's not science, but it may be productive. A lot of people will hear "it's not so bad" and "healthy people should get it and get over it", and go out and make others sick (including people that could die or be hospitalized).

It's not science, it's crowd control. People don't exercise good judgement reliably, so that might be counterproductive.
