    Unfortunately, the Coronavirus has a really lightning fast spread.

    A number of words in English are used metaphorically – with a meaning that is not exactly the same as their literal meaning. 
    Usually they apply a quality of one word to another word...
    For example, when we say that something is lightning fast, we are using the quality of lightning (which is almost instantaneous) to describe something that is extremely fast.
