What are your thoughts on trips to Home Depot? There's so much I can be doing around the house but that would require several trips to HD. So frustrating.
I’ll go back to my usual MO: all depends on context and nuance of your particular situation.
Most important of all in my estimation is that none of us spread the virus / harm others. If there is little to no chance you have been exposed, and you take precautions while in public, that should apply. Go out, don’t be sneezing, touching your face then touching things, maintain 6 feet as much as possible. Take the responsibility that if ANY hint of infection or even exposure occurred, do what is right and do a true 100% self quarantine.
Other than that, let’s mitigate your risk and chance to get infected (which then extrapolates to not infecting others)... if possible, order it to be delivered. Or order ahead and pick up. If you need to walk the aisles, I’d suggest go when it’s not too busy and just be super cautious and smart.
Ive had to run out for office supplies, and also for some items to make life bearable and work productive - I try my best to follow what is stated above.
I also tried to “get ahead of the curve” recognizing that a week ago was sort of an invisible line in the sand of when there was any legit chance for me to be exposed. Learning from Seattle and NY, and as talk was beginning that restaurants etc may be shut down, that’s when I said it’s “now or never” - I didn’t hoard anything but loaded up for 6 weeks of key food stuffs and supplies including basics like paper goods and necessities like medicines and items to help me through if I did end up contracting and wouldn’t be able to leave the house at all. The week following I made a couple last trips for a few items. .. in and out of target as described above, still knowing it was before this “invisible line” where statistics would warrant even more extreme measures and caution. Over the past week I’ve been prepped well enough to hardly need to leave other than pick up my gal who is self isolated at her place and for a rare in and out errand (maybe one or two at that).
FWIW, whenever I could over the past two weeks I’ve ordered for delivery of goods. It’s only when amazon went to the month delivery time (since reduced it seems) that I was “forced” to take some calculated risk of venturing out.
At this point I barely need to leave the apartment, and barely do.

All you need is flour and water. Be ready to use in 5 days. Recipes all over the innernets. 
It's the little things.
