Doctors in general, not necessarily deserve praise. Only the ones who are working in emergency medicine, surgery, and primary care, who are on the front lines facing sick patients day in, day out deserve respect.
Most doctors who work in specialty fields like plastic surgery and psychiatry probably are not taking any risks and are telecommuting from home like anyone else. They aren't really doing much for the current crisis.
The most respect should go to nurses and especially nurse assistants who face sick patients 10x more than actual doctors do. A doctor spends relatively little time with individual patients and are generally douches, as a rule. In terms of victims of biohazard exposure, it's the underlings and foot-soldiers (nurses and nurse assistants), not the generals (doctors). I measure praise by the depth of the hardship.
