Yes. Take sensible precautions to protect the community until there is an acceptable level of immunity, including those who cannot currently be vaccinated such as children.
What does the flu have to do with the current situation? Current common strains of flu have much lower mortality and don't have the long term effects of COVID 19. The medical profession still don't know all the long term effects, but some known ones are brain injury, blood clots, extreme fatigue and organ damage. Plus, if you are really concerned about flu, you could always get the vaccine.
Fortunately there hasn't been a pandemic strain of flu for some time, but it is probably coming. Some of the more dangerous variants such as swine flu did not have the same level of infectiousness that COVID does (especially the Delta variant). They were virus' of concern, but didn't reach pandemic levels. One probably will at some point, so we may as well learn as many lessons as we can from how the current pandemic has been handled.
