That just isn’t true. Aside from the fact that 1918 wasn’t exactly the area of “four humors”, one can’t decide that “unprecedented” falls within a convenient range for your argument.
Besides, if your argument is that precedent doesn’t exist because medical technology was different, consider that we’re dealing with exactly the problem that quarantine was designed to fix: an infectious disease that we neither have immunity nor treatment for. For this exact scenario, the precedent is both strong and relevant.
