Each week we invite you to tell us if you've seen a number you want us to explore.
So next week we're dedicating the time to sampling as many suggestions as possible.
So if you've seen a dodgy statistic, email moreorless at bbc.co.uk or tweet us using hashtag BBC more or less.
This is the short edition of More or Less, first broadcast on the BBC World Service.

voice-verified
So bearing that in mind, what might the outbreak look like?
