Since medicine was able to discover that infettive diseases spread trough body contact, doctors are required to wear gloves. In the same time, cooks are not required to wear gloves, prostitution is still allowed and handshake is still allowed.
I can understand that this happened because of the ill conceived education system, therefore everybody without medical degree, including legislators are unaware about this danger. It makes easy for an epidemic, or even pandemic to start and spread.
What I cannot comprehend, is why medics are not explaining this danger to the legislators, to make mandatory classes of health awareness and the use of gloves for cooks, or making prostitution and handshake illegal.
Are medics idiots-savants, or are they being silenced because it's economically unprofitable?

Demand driven problem.
Information is readily available.
Most people already know what to do.
Way I see it:
People don't want to be "healthy" because it takes effort.
Most doctors and medical professionals do care about other people's health. Politicians and corporate leadership only care about profits and these are the people who can help push big trends.
And here we are..
Small minority who eat, exercise and live with few health problems.
Rest get sick and rely on health care to keep them alive/healthy.
