If people like that can't be bothered to take appropriate precautions, there's simply no hope for the entire planet.

Right now the death toll from this is relatively trivial. Even the percentage of the population that seems to have been infected isn't all that great. Maybe, especially if doctors like that can be so irresponsible, this will eventually infect all of us. If the overall death toll remains as small as it has been so far, the world population as such won't take a hit. But if significant numbers of people have life-long ill health because of this, that's the game changer. Half of the population cannot be caring for the other half. It's simply not a viable thing.
