The problem is divide-and-conquered mentality of tribalism, mob rule, dog-piling, conspiracy theories and scapegoating out of weakness, ignorance, and/or cowardice. The main global root cause is the weakness of the people to not come together through solidarity and rational, constructive purpose to push back the tides of the rich neoliberal inverted totalitarian establishment who is destroying the planet and impoverishing/exploiting billions of people through corruption and force.
Also, it will get better. The virus will evolve to be weaker, antibody and/or surface antigen vaccines will come online, IgG/IgM ELISA tests will eventually be $10, and habits and behaviors will adapt. This isn't the end of the world, climate change is a much larger existential threat. To that end, it's worth ending meat agriculture because of the following reasons that I've been shouting pointlessly into a hurricane about for years:
- climate change
- pandemic evolution
- antibiotic resistance
- resource inefficiency / nutritional availability and distribution
- peak phosphorus (which may be deferred)
- animal welfare
