If you look at the top part of the table and express >65 year cases as a linear proportion from the equation X = (29/5466)*341 then X is 1.8.

If there was nothing special about the >65 group, then the number of cases expected from 341 candidates would be 1.8. So, with the number given by AZ = 1, the only thing we can say is the sample size is insufficient to be meaningful.

I think everybody agrees on that. So, any decision to exclude the >65s from getting the vaccine is a simple matter of judgement by the relevant authorities. My instinct is that the >65s will benefit because the number was 1 not 2! A proper layman, am I.
