Here's an interesting study on the projected spread of the virus, fatalities, and hospital bed utilization given different control techniques. The takeaway is that all mitigation strategies are projected to overrun hospital beds in the US and GB.
An interesting concept is that it would actually be beneficial to increase the initial number of infections up to the point of the hospital capacity, and then apply control measures that just keep the rate of infected within the healthcare infrastructure's ability to treat. Of course, predicting and finely controlling rates of infection seems about as likely as predicting the stock market.

Besides all that, basically every placebo has positive effect, so all the guy would have to do is produce a study that shows people are better off with his cure, which they will be.
