'Are still responding' remains a present progressive and refers to current activity irrespective of the future intentions of the next independent clause. I don't see any relationship between 'still' and time zones!

Thank you for the answer.
Uh, I just now realized that the meaning of 'time zone'is very different from what I intended to say, i.e. time span. Sorry for my bad choice of the phrase.
So in terms of the meaning,
the sense of 'are still responding' is the same as in 'doing what they must do at this time' ?
