All it really takes is one person with a highly contagious disease that does not manifest for 48-72 hours. (Think a virulent flu) That person gets on a 747 or an Airbus with 500-600 people in an enclosed space for, say, an 8 hour flight. Now you have 500-600 disease vectors getting on OTHER flights. Need I go on?
I could see nukes being brought out in very short notice to try and BURN the bug out. All international travel stops. All trade stops.
I have got to stop here. I am depressing myself.....
