Completely isolate a nation or region, and it will implode for sure, making the situation world-wide even worse....

A travel ban, I say not an answer....but travel "restrictions", monitoring, possible quarantine on both ends before and after travel might help stop it's spread....
The way a travel ban would work is when checking passports. It would absolutely work! You could take several connecting flights but when you land your passport would till show where you've been recently. It's the best, and only way to contain it now outside of the U.S. I believe it was Sierra Leone that recently came out and said shutting down their borders was the best thing for stopping the spread. No use for us there on the southern end...

This is gonna get way outta control during flu season.
