Supreme count precedent only matters once a court case makes it to court.

Until then, the President of the United States can make an order, and if it is enforced by local authorities, it's defacto legal for the duration.

Not at all. Violating well-established legal precedent that has already been reviewed by the Supreme Court is an easy basis for the courts to place an immediate injunction of the effects of those orders.

This happens in many other contexts, there is no reason to believe it wouldn't happen here.

There is one big reason why the supreme court wouldn't overrule a quarantine order.
