Looking for the COVID-19 vaccine? Guadalupe County says it’s waiting for its allocation too

Residents encouraged to signGuadalupe County Judge explains vaccine up for notification alerts for waiting game when those vaccines do come in

Sign-up is for alerts only, not for pre-registration

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

(Seguin) -- “There are just not enough vaccines to go around.” Those are the words of Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher who is providing yet another update and reminder to all those who are looking for the COVID-19 vaccine.

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

(Seguin) -- Although the county remains on standby, Guadalupe County officials says it is still working to prepare residents for when the COVID-19 vaccines do become available.

“Everything that we’ve been talking about just like the public has been hearing, there’s not enough vaccine to go around. We’ve got right around two million vaccines distributed in the state of Texas for 30 million Texans. If they were distributing 200,000 to 250,000 vaccines per week, it would take over 70 weeks to vaccinate the entire state of Texas, so we’ve got some supply deficiencies to say the least but what we’ve focused on working with our partners in the city of Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, Seguin, New Braunfels and the smaller cities is basically identifying and solidifying those mass vaccination sites within multiple major cities but also with our partners working with volunteer groups. Everything is on paper and is planned out to basically open up these massive distribution sites once we get these vaccines,” said Kutscher. See JUDGE, Page 2

Patrick Pinder, Guadalupe County emergency management officer, says the first step will be for residents to sign up for the county’s Reverse 9-1-1 system. Pinder says by signing up for this alert, it will provide them with immediate news on any vaccination supply that arrives. See SIGN UP, Page 2

County utilizing all resources to make sure residents stayed informed

SIGN UP continued from Page 1 “You can go to the county webpage. Go to the emergency management section and on the left hand column, go all the way down, it’s the second from the bottom and you sign up for that. What that does is it provides your information. You put in however you want to be notified, phone call, email, text and what we are going to do is when we find out when we are going to have a vaccine allocation, we are going to notify people through that system. We can basically draw a circle on the map - you know whether that’s going to be in Seguin or that’s going to be in Schertz or if that’s going to be in Cibolo. We can go so far out and notify those people who are going to be in that community first. So, we can say if you are registered in that system, we are going to notify you. You will also be notified about any other event that goes on. If there is a tornado, if there is a flood, if there is a missing person, if the sheriff’s office or any local PD are out in the area, that’s the same system they use to notify you, so it helps to stay informed and we are just going to use that because it’s free. It’s paid for by AACOG so we are going to make sure we are using all of our resources,” said Pinder. Again, the sign-up for the Reverse Everbridge 9-1-1 system is only for alerts and shouldn’t be

mistaken for any official type of registration for the vaccine. Pinder says whether it’s the reverse 9-1-1 system or other outlets, the county is going to make sure all available communication resources are made available to them.

“There was an email set up last week. It’s COVID19@co.guadalupe.tx.us. If anybody has any questions, email us at the email address. We are going to put that on our social media press release that way people can ask us questions. They can email us information - anything they want to talk to us about. We are going to field those emails through that and then we’ll respond back to those folks or we are asking people to just check their preferred media outlets. Last week, the PIOs (public information officers) all over the county had that information, school districts, city officials, county officials, Facebook, the radio station, everybody had it, the newspaper so we want to make sure that we are touching every person in the county to make sure they are staying informed,” said Pinder. Once there is information about vaccinations, media outlets such as Seguin Radio KWED and the Seguin Daily News will also work closely

with county leaders in helping to better define the details behind that process -- a process that will be required to successfully administer the vaccinations throughout the community. Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher says although it’s been a bit of a challenge, the county is doing all that it can to stay prepared for this vaccine rollout. “We are on a holding partner. It is a waiting game. I appreciate everybody’s patience. I understand it is frustrating but we are pushing every avenue that we possibly can and will continue to work on those plans so we are as prepared as possible,” said Kutscher. Again, he says staying informed these next few weeks and even months will be important for everybody. He says if folks have not yet registered for the Reverse 911 alert system then he encourages them to do so as soon as possible. The link to sign up for the reverse 9-1-1 system can be found on the county’s website at co.guadalupe. tx.us under the county emergency management tab. Residents may also email their questions to covid19@co.guadalupe.tx.us.

County shares more on vaccine supply deficiencies

JUDGE continued from Page 1 County Commissioner Drew Engelke says the lack of vaccine in the county is not the fault of Guadalupe or any other county that finds itself in the same position.

“For vaccines, I get a lot of calls, of course too. We are basically in a waiting game. Just like the general public, the county is waiting on the state to allocate to the county so we are doing what we can to get the allocations but we are just in a holding pattern as far as distribution. As long as the public understands that because they are like ‘Where is it? Where is it? Why are they getting it and we are not?’ It’s not up to Guadalupe County. It’s the state,” said Engelke. Patrick Pinder, the Guadalupe County emergency management officer, says it’s important to explain how these vaccines are being allocated to the various counties. He says seeing all the vaccines being administered in Bexar County has created plenty of confusion.

“If you look at the state’s website, there’s two different categories. There’s medical care providers and there’s hubs. San Antonio is a hub. That is why San Antonio is getting the vaccines and you are seeing the allocations of 9,000 of this and 9,000 of that. They are a hub. That’s what the state set them up as. We are not a hub. Schertz EMS, any doctor’s office here or the hospital is only a medical care provider. Until, we can hit that hub list which I don’t see us hitting anytime soon, we won’t’ be put into priority. Some counties in the state haven’t received any vaccine so none. We’ve been on several calls with judges, mayors, they are like the county next to us is getting all of these vaccines, we haven’t even received one dose so that’s one of the things that like HEB’s and things like that are working with those folks to try to even get their 1As taken care of,” said Pinder. According to Pinder, a hub is defined as an area for a large distribution. So far, most areas for hubs in the state have been large cities.

He says although Guadalupe County is not yet considered a hub, the right paperwork has already been submitted to the state for consideration. Pinder says the county, its various cities as well as Guadalupe Regional Medical Center have all worked early on to lay out their plans for when a mass vaccination opportunity does arrive in the county. He also reminds residents that there is not a waiting list for the vaccine. In the meantime, officials remind residents that any available doses will still be distributed following the Phase1 A and 1 B eligibility requirements. Phase 1 A population includes frontline healthcare workers and residents at long-term care facilities. Phase 1 B includes people 65 of age and older or people 16 years of age and older with at least one chronic medical condition that puts them at an increased risk for severe illness from the virus that causes COVID-19.

Marion Mayor shares personal recovery, hospitalization from COVID-19

By Cindy AguirreHerrera

those safety practices and mandates deemed necessary toward bringing this pandemic to an end.

(Marion) -- After a couple of days in the hospital, Victor Contreras, the mayor for the city of Marion, is back at home recovering from the COVID-19 virus. After allowing him to rest a few more days, the Seguin Daily News caught up with Contreras who wanted to share some personal insight into the reality of this very dangerous pandemic. Contreras says a person never fully realizes the seriousness of COVID-19 until they are told it’s time to go to the hospital. “Last week, I went in for a test on Tuesday and came back positive and I went ahead and had my wife tested at the same time and then they came up and said we can take an antiviral medication -- an infusion type and took it on Wednesday and we came home and then I started feeling really bad. They kept me that required hour.but I started feeling bad. My sugars went really low and some other things (were happening) so

I went back to the hospital. I went to the emergency room and I spent two days in the hospital because of this. I had to have extra oxygen so once I got up to 95 percent without the oxygen and walked around, then they would let me go home which I’m glad I was able to do,” said Contreras. “ I just want to say that all these people that say that this is a hoax

or a joke, this is real. COVID is real. It has real consequences that can happen.” As an elected official and the mayor of a community, Contreras says all the issues related to COVID-19 over these last several months have made governing a bit challenging. He says if anything, he is more committed than ever in encouraging

“I posted everything that I get from the city or CDC, or from the county or the state on our website and I’ll write on my newsletters on all this. I just want everybody to understand that if we are going to win this fight over COVID, we all have to wear our masks, use our hand sanitizers and social distance and this is not a joke. This is for real. I’m living through it and I think there are people who say ‘oh, the government just wants me to do it.’ No, I think the government wants you to do it for safety and not just for yourself but for the people around you,” said Contreras. In sharing his experience, Contreras says he also can’t say enough about the top notch medical attention that was delivered to his bedside during his stay at Guadalupe Regional Medical Center in Seguin. He says the community is fortunate to have such

an excellent healthcare facility. “They are wonderful people. They are wonderful human beings and the nurses and doctors are always professional on what they do and they tell you right up front what they are going to do, this is what we expect,” said Contreras. Again, Contreras says his body’s response to the virus was not what he had expected but again is just grateful to be back on the road to recovery. “I’m glad I’m here. I’m hoping I don’t have a relapse or anything like that. But, I”m glad I’m here and I’m hopeful to get back to my office. You know, I like to work,” said Contreras. Contreras says unable to see family especially his wife MaryJo was perhaps the most difficult thing. He says while he was in the hospital, MaryJo was at home struggling with the illness on her own. Luckily, he says both are on the mend and home to be cleared following another COVID-19 test next week.

Long buzzer beater sinks Marion’s upset bid in 63-61 loss to No. 5 Cougars

(Marion) - The Marion boys basketball team was 2.3 seconds away from avenging a lopsided December loss to the fifth-ranked team in the state Tuesday night, but San Antonio-Cole’s Silas Livingston took an inbounds pass in the backcourt, dribbled and hopped across the midcourt stripe, and burried a desperation three from 40 feet out as time expired to give the Cougars a 63-61 win on the Bulldogs’ home court. The gut-wrenching loss drops Marion to 6-3 in District 26-3A, 16-3 overall, while Cole remains alone in first place with a 9-0 district mark and a 15-5 season record. Marion trailed by as many as eight points in the first quarter, clawed back to briefly go up by four in the second, and settled for a 34-33 lead at halftime after Cole’s Trey Blackmore knocked down a mid-range jumper at the buzzer. The Cougars built a 47-39 lead in the third period and took a 49-43 cushion into the fourth, but the Bulldogs fought back to lead by four late in the final frame. Cole put together a run to take a 60-59 lead down the stretch, and Samuel Montoya’s offensive rebound and follow shot gave Marion a one-point lead with less than a minute to play.

Blackmore missed a difficult double-pump scoop shot for the potential lead with three seconds to play, and Montoya was immediately

Montoya missed the front end of the one-andone, and Cole called a timeout to set up the “He’s a senior and probably could be starting final play against Marion’s full-court press. for us, but he relishes coming off the bench and being that sparkplug for us, and he does There is no video review in high school a great job,” Coach Allen said of Montoya. basketball, but footage of the final play shows that Livingston traveled before releasing Fernando Romero added seven points, the game-winning shot, and that the clock Kadeem Blyden three, Jon Padron and expired before he released it.

Schlueter

Del Schlueter, one of the sweetest men to ever walk the earth, left us yesterday morning while sitting in his chair; probably laughing at Seinfeld re-runs. Del, the 1951 Seguin high school class president was one of those people who never met a stranger. It would take him 15 minutes to get to his table at El Ranchito, because he had to stop and talk to so many people on the way. The 1955 graduate of the University of Texas School of Pharmacy and avid Longhorn fan met his wife Mary Willingham at the University and they married shortly after graduation. He recently received a letter from the Texas Exes mentioning that he was one of the oldest living season ticket holders.

She remained a Seguin resident and graduated from Seguin High School in the class of 1949. She married Erwin Forshage, of Seguin, on July 7, 1950. He preceded her in death in September 2006.

Mary and Del moved back to Seguin in 1968 where he worked at, and eventually purchased Williams Drug Store. Del was a true “Girl Dad”. He loved raising their 3 daughters, Jamie, Sarah, and Anndy, followed by their 2 granddaughters Lauren and Kelsey. (All of whom, he was proud to say, also graduated from UT.)

January Becomes Deadliest Month Of Pandemic

(Undated) -- January is now the deadliest month of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. Numbers from Johns Hopkins University show roughly 77-thousand-700 deaths have been reported so far this month. That surpasses the previous high of just under 77-thousand-500 in December. The increase in deaths comes as the Biden administration works to ramp up vaccine distribution. The total death toll so far is more than 424-thousand.

COVID-19 Cases Surpass 100 Million Globally

(Undated) -- Johns Hopkins University says there have now been more than 100-million coronavirus cases around the world since the pandemic started. The U.S. accounts for a quarter of that number with more than 25-million cases, followed by India and Brazil. The Director-General of the World Health Organization says despite the number of cases, hospitalizations and deaths, he’s optimistic the pandemic could get under control as vaccines become more readily available. The global death toll from the virus stands at more than two-point-one million.

Government Will Buy Additional 200 Million Doses Of Coronavirus Vaccines

(Washington, DC) -- The federal government will purchase an additional 200 million doses of

coronavirus vaccines. A White House statement says the goal is to have 300 million Americans fully vaccinated by the end of the summer. President Biden hosted a White House event and said the distribution of vaccines to states will be significantly ramped up. He called the nationwide vaccination program a difficult operational challenge and said the program was in worse shape than his team expected when they took over.

Wisconsin’s Mask Mandate On The Line With State Senate’s Vote

(Madison, WI) -- Wisconsin’s mask mandate is on the line with the state Senate’s latest vote. The state’s senators voted 18-to-13 on Tuesday to overturn the emergency declaration which allowed Governor Tony Evers to make the mandate State Senator Duey Stroebel says there’s “no such thing as a perpetual emergency.” The state’s Assembly will vote on the measure on Thursday.

Florida Paramedic Arrested For Stolen COVID Vaccines

(Polk County, FL) -- A Florida man who recently held the honor of Paramedic of the Year is being charged for his part in stolen doses of the coronavirus vaccine. Joshua Colon was arrested on charges of forgery, fraud, and misconduct for covering up a supervisor’s theft of three COVID vaccine doses. He’s accused of forging vaccine forms on vials that he’d been given. Colon claims his supervisor demanded the vaccines and put him in a “very difficult situation.” Colon was just recognized as Paramedic of the Year for his actions in a serious multi-vehicle accident.
