I don't see what your point is. Gompertz is just one type of a logistic function. A first year epidemiology course covers them saying that they model most outbreaks and you have example exercises with them where you learn how to calculate things like when will 1m people be infected. One way to think about them is that they have two phases, the first dominated by an exponential curve and the second by a logarithmic. This might be what you are confusing.
