People look for an enemy to direct their frustration about the Problem of Evil, chaos, impersonal viruses etc. Classic scapegoat behaviour. the pattern has been repeated throughout history. Usually the scapegoats become at least oppressed. It's also clear that the authorities are not pushing this meme more than the people. Which is also a characteristic and one where some in charge are capitalising on. Interestingly its also fear and worry at the root of this is the same as the "antis" and their scapegoat is those above us. Others capitalise on this too.
