Chicago, IL, Nov. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FOMO CORP. (US OTC: ETFM) announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Purge Virus, LLC (https://purgevirus.com) has joined the Leadership Council of the Sustainable Tech Alliance (https://sustainabletechalliance.com). The engagement reinforces Purge Virus’ leadership role in COVID-19 disinfection though webinars, training, and advanced indoor air quality devices. Purge Virus is well positioned to support the private sector and President-elect Biden’s Plan to upgrade four million buildings (https://joebiden.com/clean-energy). The majority of the Purge Virus disinfection devices are “Made in USA” to “Buy American Act” (BAA) Compliance, meaning that they are in line with President Trump’s initiative to promote American manufacturing. The next two months, before the January 20, 2021 inauguration, are critical for indoor air disinfection, given that people spend more time indoors over winter months than in other seasons. Beyond COVID-19, Purge Virus technologies inactivate influenza and other pathogens, which can further help save lives and reduce the stress on hospitals and healthcare professionals across the U.S. this winter.

Purge Virus devices provide energy savings in addition to disinfection when correctly installed at heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) air handling units (AHUs). Associated energy savings translate directly to operating cost reduction, which is key for business survival. A recent Sustainable Tech Alliance (STA) webinar on 11/12/2020 showcased Purge Virus as a critical solutions provider to save energy and eradicate COVID-19. To see the 48-page Webinar PDF, the recording, and the supporting data visit here: https://sustainabletechalliance.com/resources/

Purge Virus has a substantial sales pipeline of over 70 leads, including non-residential property owners and managers such as Related Properties Corporation, an affiliate of Related Companies based in New York City, that already deployed PV technology at a 180,000 square foot property in Connecticut; a company that used PV’s air cleaning solutions to protect guests at high-net worth customer’s private event; and small- and medium-size businesses including dental offices and restaurants that have deployed PV’s air cleaning solutions to protect their clients under the Purge Virus “Clean Air!” national branding campaign.

Purge Virus Clean-Air Rental Program (CARP): Today, Purge Virus is formally launching a rental program designed to make it fast and easy for people to use advanced disinfection technology to help reduce the risk of potential super-spreader events. Rentals are less expensive than purchasing the technology, and the ease of plugging them into standard wall outlets is more convenient than wiring and integrating with HVAC ducts. Sample portable devices can be found at https://purgevirus.com/portable-devices. PV has strategic relationships with multiple financing companies that have over $300 million available to facilitate this opportunity and drive revenues.

“Our Purge Virus team hopes that all Americans can agree that cleaning indoor air, saving money, and creating new jobs are bi-partisan wins for our country. Many people face the challenges of unemployment or under employment. We are pleased to offer education, training, and technology solutions to help activate the opportunities for a safer and more energy independent country,” said Charles Szoradi, CEO of Purge Virus, LLC.

Said Vik Grover, CEO of FOMO CORP.: “We believe Purge Virus can become a one-stop shop for clean building solutions that helps solve the COVID-19 pandemic and mitigate future viruses. I anticipate market acceptance of their solutions and applaud Charlie’s team’s efforts to solve this pressing issue for the world.”

Destin, Fla., Nov. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — While research shows that holiday travel will slow this year due to COVID-19, healthy families still want to gather this holiday season. A recent survey released by Travelocity reported that nearly 80% of respondents who plan to travel this year are planning to drive for the November and December holidays. When it comes to accommodations, Arjan Dijk, a senior vice president at Booking.com shared with USA Today that those who travel “plan to stay at a self-catered accommodation such as a vacation rental or villa where it is easier to social distance.” For those families, Newman-Dailey Resort Properties is aiming to make the holidays a little brighter this year. With hundreds of Destin vacation rental homes and condominiums to choose from, Newman-Dailey is prepared to provide a safe and sanitized home away from home for the holiday gatherings. In addition, the team at Newman-Dailey is welcoming guests with fresh baked bread for holiday celebrations and a bottle of sparkling wine for New Year’s Eve celebrations.

“Our guests really enjoy the fully equipped kitchens to gather and prepare holiday meals,” said Newman-Dailey Founder and CEO Jeanne Dailey. “We have found COVID-19 blessings in spite of this difficult year and we want to be a blessing to the families we serve. Our enhanced sanitization and cleaning standards ensure every vacation rental home and condominium is fully sanitized after each departure. Guests love that when the celebration is over, they can leave the cleaning to us.” 

Booking.com data also shows that 41% of travelers say they’re making reservations with an eye toward isolation. The beaches of South Walton and Destin along Northwest Florida’s Gulf Coast offer miles of outdoor, open space to spread out. With miles of soft white sand beaches and emerald green waters, families enjoy the scenic setting and change of scenery to gather with loved ones for the holidays.

Destin’s outdoor festivities, including the annual lighted boat parade along the Destin Harbor and New Year’s Eve celebrations along Florida’s Emerald Coast, offer opportunities to be outdoors and socially distance from others.

Newman-Dailey’s vast array of beach vacation rental homes sleep groups from two to 22. Each vacation rental home is equipped with a full kitchen, and washer and dryer, providing the conveniences of home in a beautiful beachside setting.  Newman-Dailey also provides guest rewards, including complimentary movie rentals and discounts to area businesses.
