At least one inmate and four correctional officers at the Cumberland County jail tested positive for the coronavirus this week, officials said. On Wednesday, one inmate at the jail and four correctional officers tested positive for COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, said Jody Hirata, deputy administrator for Cumberland County. As a result, the jail is on lockdown to prevent inmates from moving around and control the spread of the virus, she said. The inmate who tested positive is in isolation for 14 days, said Hirata.

More Americans are trying to lose weight today than ever before. According to a massive 18-year study of nearly 50,000 people published last year in the journal JAMA: Diabetes and Endocrinology, the number of adults over the age of 20 who have embarked on weight-loss plans jumped to 42.2 percent in 2016 compared to just 34.3 percent in 1999.

If you're among the countless Americans who have adopted a dedicated weight loss plan and haven't seen the results you wanted—whether it's via a fad diet or cutting calories or trying to go full keto—doctors say...
