If the cause of COVID had nothing to do with infectious disease labs, food standards, or air filtration, then those three action items would be irrelevant.
If the cause of COVID was acute poisoning combined with a global, coordinated psychological operation, then you've got bigger fish to fry.
Not so, because the first two will reduce the rate at which new pandemics emerge.
I'm not so sure about the value of the third, as while the will reduce the rate at which any specific airborne infection spreads, that just means the next pandemic needs the set of traits which make it survive longer while airborne e.g. what the common cold already has.

Indeed, but both bio labs and wet markets were known to be potential risks before hand, the former being why we even have a biohazard warning icon and why biosafety levels are defined. Those risks still exist, the wet markets just need to end completely, while for the bio labs it's always good to have people imagining various ways things could go wrong in order to make them not actually go wrong outside of our imagination.
I agree that those items are worth doing for other reasons. But I also question whether pandemics even operate in the way that we've been conditioned to believe.

The fact that biolabs haven't been regulated at all (in fact, even the notion of investigating biolab safety has become some sort of partisan issue) should be a huge clue that the COVID response has been a political operation.
???
They were already heavily regulated before, and still are now. And that includes in China, where we don't get to talk much about "partisan" issues owing their government treating any discussion of their own imperfection as some kind of foreign dissent attempt.
Instead, let's focus on the Illuminati or something? What poisoning caused all our ERs to overflow during the pandemic?
The fact that none of the (seemingly non-controversial) action items are being addressed should tell you something about how our leaders think.
Instead, they're proposing plans for the next pandemic which amount to more authoritarian surveillance and control.

I suggest you look into it. ERs weren't all overflowing. https://www.woodhouse76.com/p/new-york-city-er-visits-plumme...
