Why can’t all countries impose complete travel ban to contain the spread of H1N1?

In my country most cases were imported - people coming from abroad and spread the virus. Lately two local transmissions due to contacts with imported cases have been reported. In China for example, it has even up to now entered Turkestan province - caused by some of their people visiting US as tourists.

I know complete travel ban will involve a lot of complications especially for very urgent matter, education and losses for businesses, but the disease spread is getting very dangerous.

Travel ban and border closure should be implemented. Let the world halt all travels for few months. Strictly quarantine all infected and suspected persons. All hygiene and sanitation measures to be implemented properly and strictly. All must cooperate to stop this virus.

What do you think?
