I'm going to take the other tack. Global inventories have been at record stupid high levels for a while. While (some) sales are still taking place, most manufacturing is going to be shuttered for quite some time. It will have the effect of dropping inventories at the back end of this (whenever that may be), as production will likely lag recovery.
So, it depends on whether they are paying their employees for the down time. That will vary by company, country, etc.
Not that I'm advocating that this pandemic is in any way a good thing. But it might be more survivable for manufacturers than for instance the service industry. Back-of-the-envelope guess only - no actual data was harmed in the making of this opinion.
