Making a lockdown-style stockpile of basics doesn't seem like a terrible idea rn. A lot of the rest of the world is already in a food/energy rationing condition; according to Patrick Boyle's latest video, the price signals of unmeetable demand are being suppressed in the UK/US, you can't imagine that being sustainable for long.
Two weeks isn't long! But i remember being very glad of the stock i'd built up in Feb 2020 after starting to read warnings like this one

If you are in the UK (and possibly many other countries) you might want to start stocking up on non-perishable food and other long shelf life stable items. Two weeks minimum, for everyone in your household, would be a sensible starting point. If you have the means to do so then more supplies might be better than less. If you have items already in stock then check their expiry dates as soon as you are able and replace what's most important first. Check any prescription medications to ensure you have enough on hand. 😕🤦♂️ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq59g12d6plo
