This is a bad idea. The virus is still pretty new so lots of unknowns like it may be dormant after infection in certain body parts. Also considering the 1 to 2% death rate seems highly risky. Plus a higher percentage needing intensive care and monitoring. Moreover, there are reports of second infections so it may not even inoculate that well against a second infection. So it's just risky with so many unknowns.
Moreover, we are not even sure this virus will be around next year. Unlike chicken pox before the vaccine was made the reasoning was if you caught it as an adult it could be quite dangerous. While this virus is especially dangerous to elderly. Depending on your age it could be decades before your in that risk category. We surely will have a vaccine or better treatment by then, so again just taking risk with no real benefit.
Not only that this is likely to increase spread of the virus unless your properly quarantined. This just a bad bad idea with how little we know and the possibility of a vaccine on the horizon.
