They should be paid for their work and for the risk they face, however that price is built into the market, and weighed against people who also need jobs right now. By artificially raising the wages for some, you would have to deny work altogether for others. You cannot employ everyone and also raise their wages (a thermodynamic impossibility).

As far as tipping goes, nurses are not tipped for their work. Nor are doctors. Tipping should not be part of the equation as it puts too much variability in the pay for these people. They should be paid based on the risk and the need for their work, not based on the whims of some people.

Strikes are a negotiating tactic. It's not independent of the market. It's a part of it. Workers can use their collective power, too. They get a say in their worth and they're exercising it here.

The market isn't whatever corporations tell you that you're worth.

Nurses and Doctors make a lot of money and have better health protection. At least, they have full health insurance, compared to food delivery drivers. On top of that, medical professional are expected to be at risk.

If you are coughing and you expect someone to risk their lives, by catching whatever you have, while delivering your food, then, be prepared to shell additional for your delivery.
