How has COVID19 impacted the Asexual community?

from Marshall John Blount

How has COVID19 impacted the Asexual community? Pretty much like everyone else, A lot of us fear the unknown of what's to come and how long this will impact our lives. I have spoken to a couple of people who are caregivers and they are worried about their patients and their families, I have also spoken to someone who was planning something big for Asexual awareness, visibility, and representation in their local pride, Sadly social distancing and the unknowns surrounding the duration of this lockdown has put a damper on those plans this year. The full scale of the impact on our community will not be known for sometime, However something tells me that we (the activist and advocates within the community) should continue to keep up with the treatment of our fellow Ace folk by non-Ace people in the medical field, family spaces, work, cyberspace, etc etc now more than ever. That is going to require a lot of surveys and conversation within the community especially once we process this crisis even more. That will take months if not years to do.
