Abstract: The world has been highly impacted by the COVID-19 as the coronavirus has spread across the world. Apart from massive publications on this topic, there is no available qualitative analysis that describes the dynamic spreads of the COVID-19 and its impacts on healthcare facilities and the economy. Using the system archetypes analysis, this paper explains that the dynamic spread of the COVID-19 consists of the limits to growth and the success to successful structures. The structure of the limits to growth elucidates that increasing symptomatic and asymptomatic cases may be bounded by self-quarantines and isolation. Moreover, the success to successful structure explains that once the COVID-19 affects the economy through the lockdown, there will be a limited fund to support the government aids and the aggregate demand. Overall, this paper gives readers simplified holistic insights into understanding the dynamic impacts of the COVID-19 in our society.

Keywords: system archetypes; the COVID-19; the impacts of the COVID-19; the limits to growth; the success to successful.
