pandemically
In epidemic fashion
In a manner relating to or characteristic of a pandemic—a disease outbreak affecting large populations across wide geographic areas.
The word gained prominence during COVID-19: The virus spread pandemically within months.
It can also describe non-disease phenomena that spread with similar speed and scope: Misinformation travels pandemically on social media.
