I feel that this measure executed by China is very good and effective. This method is also used by the Singapore Government. H1N1 is easily spread so measures have to be taken to cease further spreading of this virus. People who are sick should self-quarantine themselves for seven days before they go back to work or school. Schools also told the students to bring their thermometers everyday and have temperature taking at least twice a day. All of such measures are to try and stop the Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 so everyone would be safe. H1N1 has infected people from all walks of life in the entire world causing almost every country to have been infected with this virus.

Here is some information taken from Wikipedia:

Influenza A (H1N1) virus is a subtype of influenza virus A and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of H1N1 are endemic in humans and cause a small fraction of all influenza-like illness and a large fraction of all seasonal influenza. H1N1 strains caused roughly half of all human flu infections in 2006. Other strains of H1N1 are endemic in pigs (swine influenza) and in birds (avian influenza).

Now that the H1N1 has been stopped, the world can live in peace.
