Humboldt County Deputy Health Officer Dr. “We’ve all heard of exponential growth, and we’re having a dangerous flirtation with it and could be there,” Josh Anis said. Like the freight train, the covid transmission has also increased at a very fast pace and it will take weeks to slow down with the full impact on hospitals yet to be seen. “Now is the time to act,” he said. “Do your part. You know someone whose life depends on it.”
