"We have never done this before for a pandemic" is only true only if you look back 60 or so years during which there have not been any pandemics on this scale

In a way, yes. Local governments like Minneapolis/St Paul closed all public places including schools, churches, dance halls and theaters. Cities that enforced social distancing faired better https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1997248/#__ffn_sectitle … https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/2020/03/how-cities-flattened-curve-1918-spanish-flu-pandemic-coronavirus/ …
