Will reward flight availability and the value of Avios decrease?

Given that airlines may have to look at social distancing on board and the impact on loading, are there any views on whether we will see Avios seats becoming more expensive and also a reduction in the availability of reward flights?

I have AMEX Rewards points and my Platinum card is due for renewal in June. Given the cost of the card, and the limited access to the card's benefits for the foreseeable future, I am thinking of not renewing and subscribing again once life gets back to some normality. I had initially planned to transfer my points to Avios but given the uncertainty for airlines going forward am not sure this is a good idea and may use against their 0.9 cash for reward points offer...
