Biofuels, Healthcare and What data can't do

In the early 2000s UK hospitals gamed the very policy made to govern them, how did that happen? What could have caused the COVID figures misreporting in many Indian states? Do we really know if bio-fuels are carbon neutral? Tapan and Ishan discuss these questions in the context of the Hannah Fry's article "What data can't do". They don't find a lot of answers, but still uncover interesting insights about the shortcomings of data.
