They'll last long enough for the league to come back. They've still received their TV money and commercial money which is massively more than gate receipts. Clubs in the EFL rely on match day attendance. The Premier League could run behind closed doors for a year and make minimal losses. Add in the ability for top flight clubs being able to make losses and take on hundreds of millions of debt.
All of this is the same reason we were able to hand out 10,000 free season tickets. The loss was a drop in the ocean. As I'm more familiar with Newcastle's accounts, just 5% of the clubs revenue comes from match day sources per season.

This fairly much explains all.
