Is he?
I'd have thought a fortnight supply of shopping is fair, lots of people only shop fortnightly for any number of reasons, ourselves included.
I guess the question is, what's worse, 1 big shop fortnightly which limits your exposure to the risks in a high density area at the expense of taking more off the shelves in 1 go or exposing yourself twice and removing half as much.
Damned if you do damned if you don't so I think the best plan is to simply continue your normal practice, it's those who shop more regularly but taking enough in one crack to last beyond that frequency that are causing the issue.

Wogs are the original doomsday preppers, we've got a two car garage that's never had a car in it, it's a pantry

Every wog family has the pantry garage, sometimes they turn into a salami or passata processing plant

Dunno mate, my ex wifes mother, who i do keep in contact with. Shes no wog, but has 4 freezers and 1 fridge. No semi market garden in the yard, so no bragging about fresh tomatoes or zucchinis. But more like the best before was 5 years ago, but its fine, its been frozen. But thats nothing new. Its not recent. Its been that way since 19 years ago when i asked my then future ex wife why the 4 freezers?

does it count if i can still slaughter fresh ?
as i still have all my slaughter equipment , hanging equipment and stainless bandsaw from when i ran a broadacre
miss the shopping lines/prices and a fresher better cut of meat
wonder how the neighbors would take it if i pushed the project out the shed and hung a few beefers n sheep now i live in the verbs
and the green bin full of slaughter waste

In light of the thread I think someone needs to post their 'Stay at home' message...

Can I do it from the phone I wonder?

I disagree fordomatic. By buying 2 weeks of groceries, you are part of the problem. The solution is... to get the wife to do the shopping every other day. That way, you can avoid helping the wife with the 'big' grocery shop, and you then spend most of the day trolling the net. Smart shopping it's called.

So the same could be said of Farmers who only go to town every couple of weeks to do their shopping?

Don't forget that if someone shops every 14 days they're leaving 13 days for others.
