CoronaVirus Comics THE GREAT TRICORDER CONTEST!

We showed you this amazing tale of past and present  Star Trek doctors fighting a disease...
...HERE and HERE, but we didn't answer the question...WHY?
Why do a stand-alone story about the medical personnel of the various (pre-CBS All-Access) series solving a medical mystery?
It turns out, a company called "Qualcomm" (in conjunction with Paramount) was behind it!
Why?
This will explain it...
Even those who didn't have a degree in medicine or electronics could participate...
If you keyboard "tricorderfederation.org" site, you find this!
And, it appears that, in 2017, someone did win the competition!
However, three years later, despite much publicity, there's still no tricorder, even in beta!
Pity.
We sure could use it during this pandemic, eh?
