They are cowards and fools.
I wonder some of the most stridently mocking and harassing - and worse, the idiots who physically attack the health and emergency-services staff - are actually very frightened of the disease. So they try to hide their fear behind a warped, false bravado, but then let that consume them to the point of losing self-control.
Or, perhaps out of the same fear and bravado, are so frustrated by the restrictions most of us are able to tolerate that they have brainwashed themselves into believing even the health services are their enemies.
Others may simply have chosen anyway to be antisocial, selfish, foolish cowards with no respect for themselves, let alone anyone else.

@ArishMell Good point. I think it is probably a combination of those things for people, which has caused people to start lashing out.

@SW-User I suppose some are simply weak and it does not take much to push them over their personal edge - though that is still certainly no excuse for their behaviour.
