” need to monitor for outbreaks and react to them in real time (closing borders was considered impolite, not anymore)”
Ok, not sure how much there is to discuss on this.
“domestic (or democratic) production of medicine and other strategic goods (not just USA, EU is looking at that also)”
Medicine for what? Hypothetical new viruses?
“quick vaccine development (mRNA) and methods to do Phase 3s quickly (Trump’s achievement)”
ok, could be.
“accountability (not solved). Would we allow someone to claim a mistake for a minor nuclear explosion or would we invoke MAD doctrine? should the same apply to bio-weapons?”
This isn’t preparation for a pandemic.

“decoupling of virus protection from politics (not solved)”
And won’t be, no matter how many committees are formed for it.

“Maybe monitor labs so that these viruses don’t get unleashed into the world? Or maybe shut down labs that are creating harmful viruses for whatever reason?”
Also not preparation for a pandemic.
