COVID-19 pandemic is still the major issue. Health experts and scientists have dedicated time to find the right cure for fighting the invisible enemy--among them are the people behind a Facebook group, Survivor Corps. The group is considered the world's largest research tool, and it is currently trying to cure many people by giving them hope during the pandemic era. One of the individuals that the digital group helped is Alicia Gaffney, a Sausalito nurse, who tested positive for coronavirus on Feb. 19, as reported by SFGATE.

The 70,000-member community serves as an invaluable resource for those patients who are currently suffering from the viral virus across the nine Bay Area Countries. However, the social media group still points out that professional medical advice still has no substitute, removing posts with unverified sources.
The Facebook group serves as an emotional outlet, mobilizing force for research studies, and sounding boarding for symptoms like other digital communities on Slack or Reddit. It was created shortly after Long Island-based photographer Diana Berrent was infected with the novel coronavirus in mid-March. The group then expanded into a non-profit with a core volunteer staff of eight, with thirty additional individuals who help out with different tasks, such as moderating social media posts.
