Yes, I confused you with rich_sasha, that's right. My aplogies.
As you say 700k people over two years is an impossibly high number so we can disregard this number and any other number that someone makes up just because they want to make a point. That's not the way to make a point with numbers.
Not at all. Note that my initial point, quoting from my initial comment, was that "every single pandemic and disease that has ever infected humans did not leak from a lab and instead evolved in nature, usually in animals".
The 1977 flu did not start in a lab but instead jumped from animals to humans, just like any other disease that has ever bothered us. This happened in the 1950's. In the 1970's an earlier strain of the virus re-emerged but we don't know where it came from and it did not cause a pandemic.
The Covid-19 virus instead is said to have first come from a lab, and some people even think it was a human-made virus, possibly as a result of gain-of-function research. Nothing to do with the 1977 flu.
Have you looked for the Udacity course I recommended, on probabilities? It is really good and it will help you a lot.
