A pandemic lesson from Chile: Data transparency can save lives A pandemic lesson from Chile: Data transparency can save lives Ricardo Baeza-Yates, a director of data science at Northeastern’s Silicon Valley campus, has found that the official numbers reported by Chilean President Sebastián Piñera’s government belie the true scale of the COVID-19 outbreak in his native country. As the country eases its mitigation measures in an effort to reactivate its economy, he fears that a resurgence of cases could be on the horizon.
