I don’t understand your question.
But, from what I gather, you’re asking if you should pay for goods or services you received. Yes, you should.

If you are flat broke or approaching it, hold off on car/truck payments and house mortgage payments. Contact your lender(s) and let them know. The lenders do not want to repo a bunch of cars and foreclose on homes. The next step would be to contact your utility companies and let them know and see what they can do.

Most companies have already emailed folks offering deferments. If the govt shut you down, you'll collect your state unemployment plus 600 from the federal government plus you have a stimulus check coming.

call anyone you can't pay and explain what's going on. Don't expect them to call you.

Arent times like this a good time to use "savings" well, DUH! I truly hope this is a serious wake up call for this country and what actually matters now. I make less a month than most of you make a week and still manage to have 1,500.00 in the bank (not enough but at least I have something). not pokin anyone but making the point that our American society and the norms we have created are going to be our downfall. we have become lazy, expect instant gratification and pleasure while demanding it be cheap, hence the cheeneese. since we bailed them out in WWII they have been our enemy, why did we allow them to become our primary supplier? I got the thur night confuzed.
