Other way around, if I have 2 apples and you have 10-fold more, is where I think it gets confusing. I think there are some limited scientific/mathematics contexts where n-fold refers to powers of 2 but that appears to differ from the colloquial meaning which is just a synonym for times.

I thought infectious diseases was one of those contexts, but I guess not.
