How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

The balcony, presuming no access to stairways leading to street level, could constitute a "secure area" analogous to an airport.
If one does not have such a thing, so be it. Better a family is sick for a few days than that the disease spreads amongst everybody else.

And that family may have to go out of the house to get supplies? Won’t they spread it to everyone there?

Food, water, medicine. Why can’t they be thrown in through a window? Dude, not everyone lives on one or two-floor tall houses. For example, I live on the third floor of an apartment building, which has a tall first floor, so if you try throwing it up, it won’t work. There are some apartments here which reach as tall as sixty floors. Truly, you can’t throw supplies that high up.
Also, any interaction with anyone passing the supplies may result in the sickness spreading, so that’s a no-no.

You can't put and maintain thermometers on every house in Country X, there will be people, a lot of people, who think it's a invasion of privacy and protest. I mean, imagine trying to manage every house in, let's say, Oman.
Let's say that every household has 4 people, Homelessness is gone, and everybody always goes home at least once a day. That's around 1.159 million households one would have to manage, including critical personnel that can't take a sick day. Those 1.159M also might not take a keen interest in having the government put them under house arrest because they had a bit of a cold.
Oh, speaking of which, diseases don't just spread from person to person. A cold virus can survive a week without a human host, potentially way after the person is not infected. Meaning that the Government would have to sterilize literally every object, every inch of surface area in and on the house, put pets into quarantine, uninfected family members, etc.
It just seems like a lot of effort and money wasted on preventing the cold to spread.

I'm pretty sure someone who can acquire the food, water, and medicine a sick family may need would have the means to get a set of ladders to get within throwing distance of the window of such a family. Or to deliver it by drone. Of course, there's also the option of the family going straight to the hospital so delivery of food, water, and medicine is just a matter of some nurse going down the hall.
Also, any air displaced into the outdoor air by a parcel flying in through the window would almost immediately be dispersed by the wind. The concentration of bacteria and viruses would almost immediately be made negligible.

There shouldn't BE people so "critical" that they can't take a sick day. If measures like these are what it takes to make society change that, so be it.
Also, people wouldn't be managing those 1.159 million households; machines would, as mentioned in the OP.
I don't know what threshold airports use for how serious the contagion must be to quarantine people over it, but if we set a threshold; even a different one than airports used; we could stop pandemics before they even started.

Are you kidding me? People grab ladders to throw to someone some heavy supplies at the 60th floor of a building? How about drones? Not everyone has that nor will want to spend their money on that. So troublesome. Why can’t people just go to the doctor’s office and get healed? It’s working and has been for the last century.
Go to the hospital? People don’t have their own cars. My family doesn’t have a car, so if we want to get to the hospital, we have to take a taxi. And a taxi isn’t self-driven. Someone else is in the car. Bacteria can get to the person, you know. So it’s a lost cause.

There’s people seriously discussing this lunacy so I guess I’ll give a serious answer.
1. The funding for this would be astronomical. Instead of funding this insane proposal how’s about funding a public service TV campaign encouraging people to stay home or go to a hospital on their own accord and when going to a store wipe their cart with the provided cleanser when they are finished shopping while also minimizing contact with others.
2. The backlash by citizens is likely to cause a civil war in <Country Name> that implements this. “You have a cold you are on house arrest for the next two weeks” is surely going to get some government heads killed.
3. Airport quarantines are not used against people with a cold the flu or other non life threatening illnesses. They are designed to stop the spread of dangerous infectious diseases. Colds and the flu are hardly dangerous unless you’re an infant or 90 years old.
4. No government workers will take the job Example Nelson gets hired by the <Country Name> government and is put on thermometer monitoring duty. Within three days Nelson smashes his computer to the floor and screams “Fuck this job, fuck this Orwellian shit, I’m emigrating, suck it guys! I quit!” He then moves out of the country.
5. What’s that data center? Government: That’s the thermometer data center and house arrest control center. People: AND WE STILL DEAL WITH SHIT SLOW INTERNET WHILE YOU GUYS GET TO LOCK US UP FOR SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS HAVING A COLD?!?
Cue civil war, cue dissolution of the government by brute force and cue the end of <Country Name>’s leadership.

1. We've tried that. It didn't work.
2. It'd cleanse the gene pool of violent tendencies, if nothing else.
3. I already mentioned that this idea could set a "threshold" for how serious the illness needs to be to resort to quarantine over it. Apparently, this is not enough.
4. The NSA still gets employees.
5. See above.
