I think Remington ammo has been flowing out to the shelves for a while, anecotally there's a look like they are concentrating on popular pistol cartridges. Most of the ammo and component companies have put out regular press releases through covid related to significant production increases, so covid does not seem to have disrupted the supply chain.
I believe a few gun shop break ins have been reported, but otherwise people seem to be working and planning for their futures with these ammo purchases. There may be a demand increase, but you could be on to something. Maybe, a little inflation might be coming, probably not, at least gas prices have been down since January.
