No, because ∞ is not a number
There is a branch of mathematics in which infinity is considered a number, specifically a type of number called a "transfinite number," It's called set theory; particularly within set theory, the work of Georg Cantor developed a system for dealing with different sizes of infinities, where "aleph-null" (ℵ₀) represents the cardinality of the set of natural numbers, considered the "smallest" infinity.
It can still be worked with in set theory. ∞ is known as a transfinite number. Thus

∞ < ∞ + 1
