Welcome to September, and it's very first edition of CNN.

I'm Carla Zeus.

It's always great to have you watching.

Today's show starts with a look at some possibilities and some controversy concerning a coronavirus vaccine.

Since Cove in 19 started spreading outside China early this year, more than 25 million cases have been diagnosed worldwide, and they have been around six million cases diagnosed in the United States.

That's one of the country's racing to develop a vaccine for the disease.

And the leader of the U.

S Food and Drug Administration, whose approval is needed to put a vaccine on the market, recently said the FDA could give that approval before phase three trials are over during testing.

Phase three is when the vaccine is given to thousands of people to see how safe and effective it is.

Before then, it's only tested on smaller, more limited groups.

Not waiting for phase three to be complete could allow vaccine to be available sooner.

Normally, experts say, a vaccine could take 10 years or more to develop.

Even the ones that air quickly turned around take more than three years.

Nations around the world are trying to get one approved in less than one year.

That's part of the reason why some consumers and doctors are concerned.

In fact, a group of American doctors is calling for an independent commission to review a coronavirus vaccine before it's made available.

They say they trust American testing and ethical guidelines.

But they think consumers might not trust the approval from an FDA committee because some of its members also work for government agencies and pharmaceutical companies.

Some of those companies are involved in developing and distributing vaccines, so this group of doctors believes an independent review of data will help reassure Americans have a vaccine safety.

Many people are skeptical of vaccines in general, And in a CNN poll conducted in August, 40% of Americans said they wouldn't want to coronavirus vaccine when it becomes available.

12th Trivia.

Which of these companies employees the most people Yahoo, Ticktock, Twitter or Facebook?

Facebook is the biggest here, with more than 40,000 employees, half of whom could be working remotely for years.

Yeah, if you watch CNN 10.

Before March of this year, you never saw me in our remote studio, which looks a lot like my bookshelf will probably be producing from here and other remote locations throughout the rest of 2020.

Ah, lot of companies sent employees home to work when coronavirus broke out.

Some, like Facebook and Twitter, have said they could do this for years if they want.

But working from home brings challenges of its own, and companies like Yahoo and IBM that have tried this in the past later asked workers to return to the office.

What started off as like a vacation from the office, I believe, has turned into more of like, Gosh, I don't want to use the word imprisonment because it sounds so negative, but it's starting to feel like that.

Stephen Kwong runs Cura Cubby, a four year old start up that provides ICTY and payment solutions to preschools and daycares.

All of our employees are amazing, and I know they're really resilient.

But when four out of six people come to us and they're like, Hey, there could be an emotional breakdown coming Pretty soon, When you're in an environment where there is no physical proximity, everything just feels like there's no end to the day, and that is showing up in statistics.

The National Bureau of Economic Research estimated in July that working from home means the average person's work day is 48.5 minutes longer, based on their analysis of a sample of workers in North America, Europe and the Middle East.

Another challenge.

Convincing employees to take time off New York Venture capital firm ENIAC Ventures is shutting down completely for two weeks this month to make sure employees rest and some are taking more drastic measures.

Elefant Ventures of Software and Data Engineering Company is now testing a four day work week with 10 hour days.

A four day week also helps you create a clear boundary between work and life on git.

It helps restore some of that balance for folks when they're working from home, and then the added productivity benefits of having a much earlier start.

Kirkeby team Welcome to another hour of two thousands trivia.

Stephen Kwong is planning more virtual events like this trivia night to help boost morale.

He's even looking into partnering with a customer to provide employees with childcare.

He's worried for his company's future.

If we were to hire five people right now, how do you train them?

You can't get them all in one room.

The sense of cohorts have kind of disappeared.

I think that there could be a potential delay in our ability to meet certain goals for the company based on the lack of efficiency and scaling.

CNN New York Working from home takes on a whole new dynamic when your office is an animal shelter.

The state of California has allowed shelters to remain open during the shutdowns, but a former CNN hero who runs one decided to find a way toe work remotely anyway.

And she's still seeing success.

You could see you have a completely a adoption center.

It's really hard right now, but I like to hold on to some of the good news.

Some of the good news is that there are literally no gods or cats left in so many shelters because people want comfort Cherry, You ready to come home?

I'm Sherry Franklin, and I'm the CEO and founder of Mutt Bell Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco.

Let's get you in.

Okay.

Hi, everybody.

We rescue senior dogs that are in danger of euthanasia, Mr Man, my main Miami and find them fabulous new loving homes when we got to shelter in place, order for the cove in 19 way.

Actually decided we would close our shelter.

Yeah.

Mm.

And have everybody work from home.

And we moved 86 dogs into foster homes.

What was really amazing, Waas The community that poured in to help.

We got over 200 foster applications in a week, and usually we get 20 in a week.

Good morning, everyone.

Thank you so much for joining me.

Let's talk about Twitter.

My Twix.

We started working on protocols around contact free meetings.

Way are having meet and greets, which are usually done in person.

Do you have any other questions for us right now?

I don't think so.

I mean, I'm looking to adopt him so well, we're doing those virtually so that new adopters can meet their dogs before they actually touch them Way.

We're so excited because we did the interview on, I think, like on Monday or Tuesday.

And then it was hard to make it through the rest of the way.

Think for a lot of people during this period, nothing exciting is happening.

This is very mundane day to day.

So it was nice to have like a whole new thing to explore over the past few weeks, we really have honed in on every single step that could possibly have any contamination.

There we go, baby.

We actually bathed the dog, put on a new harness.

We're all wearing gloves and mass, and then we have a leash that's newly laundered in a Ziploc bag that's been sanitized.

How Geo?

Congratulations, Thank you.

It's really been so heartwarming to actually see the first time the new a doctor actually gets to touch and meet their dog in person because we've done the rest of it all virtually way have adopted out 78 dogs since shelter in place about 3.5 weeks ago.

My dream and my hope is that shelters will continue to be empty.

A penguin watching a show about penguins.

10 out of 10 thistles.

Pierre He's an endangered rockhopper penguin who is found in Australia in need of medical attention.

Because of a feather molting issue.

He's got to stay out of the water, but thankfully, for Pierre, there's no limit on his screen time, and he loves to binge watch anything related to penguins.

The zoo that's helping him is looking to get him together with other rockhopper penguins in person.

So help is just a rock hop skip and a jump away.

But at least his virtual interactions fit the bill.

For now, it shows he's able to channel his energy in the screening quality entertainment because he gives a flipper about penguin things.

Get back to normal.

I'm Gloria, listeners for CNN.
