Stocks are forward-looking. They're bought and sold based on people's judgments about future conditions, not the conditions right now. So the crash came as it became clear that the pandemic was not going to be contained to China, starting on February 19th, and reaching its nadir just over am month later on March 23rd. You've still got a much more volatile and uncertain market now, but in general, the market seems to agree that the forward looking outlook isn't as bad as it looked when everyone was dumping their position, or at least there are enough people looking to buy stocks on the cheap to keep the market from bottoming out further. Also, the market hasn't recovered on the year, it's priced lower overall than it was on the first of January.

What happens when we run out of fissionables? I've read alternatingly sunny and dismal reports of the economic and ecological impacts of nuclear technology, but I've read no report on either side of the issue which presents a very sunny prognosis for the long-term viability of nuclear energy. Sooner or later, all fissile material is non-renewable, and all are comparatively scarce elements in the Earth's crust. If the long-term energy destiny of the human species is renewable energy, then what is the merit of diverting into an energy source we know to be a cul-de-sac?

Do you think people are entitled to privacy in public?

Well, this begs the question, my personal opinion or what the legal answer is. :)

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear, I was interested in your personal opinion.

GDPR says, "Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous."

So, when you enter a brick and mortar store, for example, and are recorded on closed-circuit TV (a ubiquitous occurrence in any public shopping venue), you would advocate that the shopper be required to sign a consent form, dictating exactly what the footage captured of them will be used for? What is wrong with implicit consent?

They may be private property, but they're a open to the public, which is, in my opinion, analogous to a website. So, when you visit Facebook, why can't consent be implicit as well?

The reason I ask is that it seems to me that all the changes in privacy legislation have produced for the end-user is a longer EULA to not read before they click 'Accept'.
