It’s been a lot of bad luck in the bike dept this week. This happened from a thrown chain after a rear derailleur was bent. Fixed the derailleur but just noticed this washing it today. I know the conservative answer will be to have it repaired, but not sure there are many repair shops close. Would likely need to shop for this service, so thought I’d ask here.

Looks like only the paint came off to me
Hit it with some nail polish and send it.
Definitely recommend having a LBS double check it as they probably see a lot frames, but it looks completely fine IMO. I had a carbon mountain bike with way worse nicks and rubbing around the chain stays and it was fine.
If it was cracked I’d say you’re out of luck, but that looks good, again my opinion.
I can see cracks in the photos. Go get it checked out.
There is so much carbon in that area. If you can be bothered, take off the cranks and sand down. Then paint and lacquer over
