Some important aspects of Neil Overy's analysis of the mining industry’s management of Covid-19 are ill-considered, a letter writer says.

Neil Overy made some serious errors in his article that one would not expect of a professional academic .

Second, he manipulates his data so that it paints a worse picture of the industry by withdrawing the Western Cape from his calculation, to show an even lower national ratio of positive diagnoses to tests. No doubt he would question the industry’s integrity if the Minerals Council had chosen to exclude from its published data all Covid-19 cases that might have originated in the Eastern or Western Cape.

First, he refuses to acknowledge that the mining industry was ahead of all others in putting in place comprehensive prevention and mitigation measures to limit the spread of the virus.
