5:36 am
hospitals to again delay elective procedures to free up space for covid cases. in florida, governor de santis is threatening to withhold school officials salaries if they wear masks. and cases in the northeast are up 500%. in new jersey just over the last month. there is positive news out there. for those vaccinated, the mortality rate on the breakthrough cases is 0.001% hospitalizations .003%. how do we get more vaccinated? the next guest says we may be doing it all wrong joining us now is the associate propfessor professor. debbie, good to have you back on
5:37 am
cnbc it appears, not everywhere, but the way and primarily i'm talking about social media not big media, if you will, to get people vaccinated is shaming them making them feel dumb like they did something wrong. it is their health i've been fully vaccinated for months i'm saying, you believe there is a better way, particularly in communities of color, to get people vaccinated even now what would you do? >> i think that we need to focus more on encouraging people answering their questions more and getting the fda approval and having the lengthy discussions with doctors the way we are going about it is not right. this is happening in big media and social media in new york city with the mandates, i don't think people necessarily understand what is involved in the mandate. it is more than encouragement. it is actually people can lose
5:38 am
their jobs if they don't get vaccinated and try to report to work or people can potentially be arrested if they try to show up in social settings and don't leave if they are unvaccinated what you see in new york city that by percentage, a lot of the people unvaccinated are minorities then that's more concerning. it could potentially be considered discriminatory. in those communities, there may be, again, this long history of mistrust of the government if we want to build back trust, we have to do it in small steps. not necessarily take action that might worsen the feeling of mistrust who will you call in the situations will you call the police to enforce this i don't think the police want to come who does it fall on? the small business owners? we have problems with the international auto show canceled
5:39 am
its show that might be because of the variant itself, the delta variant, but it could be because of the strategies we're taking here the medical community can talk to people one-on-one in that case, people have to come forward and talk to the doctors. if they feel stigmatized or nothing available to them besides the vaccine and mask, they might not come forward. we have antibody treatments and other treatments to help people if they come in early enough and speed up the resolution of the virus, potentially and maybe keep them out of the hospital or icu. >> it's a good point because shaming people into the never doing what they should be doing is a losing strategy on so many levels to your point, if you mandate certain things can't go here. can't go there there are people that just can't
5:40 am
do it for medical reasons, they will be cast out i want to talk about something else, doctor we just did a report about kids and covid. it's a real risk we know kids generally are going to be fine there is something new it is not new. it is out there called rsv i can't pronounce it by the way. it say respiratory virus kind of like the flu it comes every year. it disappeared last year according to the cdc of the mitigation techniques. it has come roaring back and earlier. what can you tell parents watching right now about rsv and their kids and what to look for? a lot of kids are going to the hospital, not for covid, but rsv and other flu-like illnesses >> rsv looks like the common cold for kids, it will be fine. wouldn't put them in the hospital for fragile children, it can put you in the hospital or icu
5:41 am
by looking at children, you cannot tell the difference of that and covid if your children have any cold-like symptoms, it is better not to take them to the pedia pediatrician rsv can spread it is more contagious than covid. you need to call the pediatrician and ask what to do. the pediatrician may tell you to stay home and guide you at home so other kids don't catch it in the waiting area if your child is sick, short of breath or if high fever, you may want to go to the er you don't want it to get worse the idea is the balance between keeping medically fragile kids from getting sick. we want to keep the icu safe, but you want to keep your own kids safe as well. it is a balance. in certain icus, the children there, not just from covid, but viruses that were held at bay and surging back
5:42 am
whether rsv or influenza, a lot of viruses that were under control previously and now surging back >> particularly among the very young with kids. i posted on my twitter some charts from the cdc in hospitals about the rise in rsv and others dr. debi, a pleasure to have you back on. thank you very muc. >> thank you we will take a short break dow futures off 23 we'll talk housing right after this stick around. undeniably versatile. unlimited 2% cash back. this is the card built for... ...real life.

5:45 am
welcome back let's talk housing one thing is pretty clear. there is a huge shortage of new homes being built across america. demand is up the need for many new homes is huge which is where your next guest comes in james hardie industry is the highest producer of fiber gypsum products joining us on the exclusive is the ceo of james hardie industries releasing the first quarter results after close. raising the profit forecast. the stock up 60% in the past 12 months jack, good to have you on cnbc and "worldwide exchange. how strong is demand for your building products right now? >> good morning, brian thank you for having me on the show right now, the demand for
5:46 am
products is very strong. not only in the u.s., but also in western europe and australia and new zealand and philippines. >> is there any sign of that abating? you have a unique window into looking out. people buy your stuff because they want to build a home down the road you are, i think, would be fair to say a leading indicator what is your crystal ball telling you, jack? >> that is right, brian. we are exposed to the construction market and repair and remodelling. with a what we see is a strong demand for new homes as well as due to the covid effect, the homeowners like to remodel homes. it is about making their homes which is essentially their castle they want to make it look nicer and more aesthetically ally pl
5:47 am
and have more room, particularly for a home office. and at the same time, there is also a lot more exposure to having the more sustainable product in construction. we do see a lot of growth potential for homes within the next short to midterm at least. >> in the states, your name may not be as known. builders know it viewers may not. they may know the biggest competitor is louisiana pacific. we read reports on you guys, some competitors, i won't read names. they are having shortages. it is hard to get the raw materials to build the stuff they need and you guys may have access to more raw materials so you don't have to deal with the shortages. can you address that thesis wh you are well positioned?
5:48 am
>> brian, our extrastrategy is o locate our facilities close to the suppliers. over 82% of raw materials sourced within 100 miles of the manufacturing plants we also make and ship products from plants to customers within 500 miles. about two-thirds of what we producer ship to customers within 500 miles of plants it is a more sustainable supply chain and localized raw material and also with short shipping distance to customers to where we build homes that has been a really good strategy to help us during the covid effect that the world has been short of supply and we are actually able to supply the
5:49 am
markets. >> i hate to be myopic and focus on america we have 85 million millennials starting to create families and move out of cities even crazy demand for housing. do you see the generational push for home building and home buying given the demographic wave that we've got in the united states? >> absolutely, brian i think there is that big group of millennials in the marketplace right now for homes. their families start to grow also another key factor that really effects the strong demand for housing. if you look at the last decade, we essentially in the u.s. have built less homes during the past decade roughly a third than the previous five decades. what you have is a big boom with millennials in the marketplace
5:50 am
for homes at the same time during the past decade, we essentially built one-third less home than the previous five decades. you have that along with low interest rates it is a formula for really strong demand and robust demand for housing. >> really robust pricing as well not only for homes, but your products jack, stock has been red hot we appreciate you coming on and telling your story thank you. >> thank you you're welcome on deck, we wrap it up kate baddis is back. she is laying out the stocks she is eyeing right now. and your morning rbi and why returning to the office may depend a lot on where you live by the way, programming note tune in to thenew season of "the profit. marcus is back with struggling entrepreneurs.

5:53 am
time now for the morning rbi. this morning, it is about work and back to the office because having been in new york city and san francisco recently, it was striking to see how empty nearly all the big office buildings still are. midtown manhattan in the financial district of san francisco are for lack of a better term, ghost towns what about other cities? are workers back in the office it depends on where you live the trend overall is actually negative according to castlesystems which tracks people swiping security cards to get into buildings. 8 of 10 big cities saw a drop in occupancy overall in may occupancy rates in ten cities
5:54 am
are h43%. look at the chart. it is very different in different places big three of texas, houston, dallas, austin half or more than half of the people back in an office building of course, you will see with the covid surge changes that look at the bottom new york city, san francisco and san jose, california still have fewer than 25% of workers back in the office. san francisco is actually just near 1 in 5 workers back in a building castle does expect the numbers to rise. with the rise of cases among the unvaccinated, back to the office may end up on the back burner. random, but interesting. let's stick with really st real estate of a different kind. kate faddis. ceo and founder.
5:55 am
this is as far a way from back to the office as you can get if you go to a state where cannabis is legal, you see lines of cars. the company is >> iipr, brian thank you for having me this morning. i think it is one you should learn about. here's the thing cannabis is legal in 12 states, but illegal federally. this means a lot of banks and companies don't deal with cannabis companies if you deal with one, you are not coming -- paying bills with 100 d$100 bills in brown paper s iipr has a niche and understanding the regulations and getting around them and working with them. they buy the property on behalf of the companies and do a sale

lease back it is a real estate company. cannabis is a $20 billion a year industry and growing 5% to 10% a year expected to be $25 billion in a few years. this is great. what we like is a secular growth story. i have other ideas for you >> yeah, i saw one of them here. we know people bought one of three things during covid. a house, a car or pot. this may be the first time an idaho company is recommended on "worldwide exchange. talk about pet i.q >> that is another one petiq is damaged stock is down 30% in the last month or so pabecause they miss their numbers. this is another secular growth story we like. we got trends going on during covid, pet ownership
