Should we take these same measures during a bad flu season, but a bit less? To be consistent with your own argument, you should answer yes.

Covid is more deadly to old people than the flu, however it is *less* deadly to the young and healthy than the flu. So it's worse on the whole, yes, but not by a lot.

Let's say a bad flu season is 80 deadly points, and covid19 is 100 deadly points, should we not then take the same precautions for the flu, but 20% less?

The fact is nobody has even remotely dreamed of taking such drastic measures even during the worst flu season. At best you get "Heyyyy watch out, bad flu goin around." and everyone just continues living their lives.

Nobody ever has a coherent answer to this question, which is why I keep raising it.
And hospitals have never been so over whelmed before from what is being related to the flu in your post.

Lets watch people dying while gasping for air. Is this not dramatic enough to get peoples attention this could be a problem to you?
