My grand parents all born around 1900 told stories about many events they lived through. WW1 and WW2, the depression etc. They never talked about the 1919 pandemic.
I saw a documentary on the 1918-19 pandemic several years ago that claimed that after we emerged from it it was buried in our collective consciousness and rarely spoken of.

My paternal grandmother died of the spanish flu. BTW, it lasted much longer than 1919.
