You are over-complicating simple advice that is perfectly reasonable and not extreme at all:

Assume stores will be closed. Plan accordingly. Be glad if things don't play out that way. No harm done. Not difficult. Not extreme. Not a big deal. Just reasonable assumptions and planning in the face of what could be a very serious event in human history.

I have to agree here with robomartin. Stores might be open or they might not. Even though there is large chance they might remain open - they will almost certainly be overrun if this were to go into panic mode.

I can't even buy dust masks at my local home improvement store as they are out of stock. And that's not even a necessity!

Nothing wrong in being prepared for an emergency.
