"These travel bans are based in politics, and not in science"
They are based in science. BC Health Data shows very directly that BC was mostly infected by the US, not China or Europe. We also know from NZ and AUZ experience that borders matter. In most cases it will be impossible to 'lock it out' but it will definitely be possible to slow the tide.
