That question is technically a softball one, so long as she answers it.  Of
course one can argue we are better off than we were four years ago because
four years ago there was a pandemic going on with no known end in sight.

A better question is "Are we better off now than we were before 2020?"
That would be a more "apples-to-apples" comparison, but they won't likely
ask her that because the answer would about have to be "no!"

I do think it is horrible that a lot of people don't know history well
enough that they will buy that there were no pandemics before COVID.  The
"Spanish Flu" was a pretty bad one.

OTOH, claiming it was the worst pandemic ever does sort of make Trump look
better.  I mean Harris was a Senator then, too.  Everyone tried to do the
best they could with an impossible situation.

Note that she leaves out the 2020 Summer of Love, where there was violence
in multiple places vs. just one.

Agreed.
