The two weeks is an estimate as to how long it will take the malware writers to regain control of their command and control systems and start re-infecting. Some are claiming it could be a few days not two weeks, they don't really know.
The current cut off is allowing authorities to understand the level of infection, and get ISP's to make contact with effected customers, hopefully giving those infected a chance to get their systems cleaned.
Two weeks as a conservative estimate is not enough time though, but at least the issue is getting media coverage.
