There are actually a lot of private schools where the teachers aren't union members. The elementary school I attended was run by...shall we say Northern Hemisphere penguins. I think they construed vows of poverty and obedience to preclude union membership.

I used to be sympathetic with the teachers unions. I remember that I found out in 2018 during the wildcat strike that I, a lowly furnace operator, made more money per year than the mean of Arizona school teachers. The shenanigans of trying to duck work and finding excuse after excuse to keep the school closed have caused all my sympathy to evaporate. Maybe we should have a volunteer home schooling pool to show them that we can do without them if we have to.

There were no more total deaths in the USA in 2020 than there were in 2019, so if COVID-19 really did kill a lot of us, then a lot fewer of us were dying of other things. Make of that what you will.

I suspect what really put you in hospital last year was bacterial pneumonia from being forced to wear a mask in your own bedroom. Whatever it was, however, I hope you don't go back there for a while.
