"The U.S. government will end its distribution of free COVID-19 testing kits to Americans on September 2 due to lack of funding, according to the federal website.
Ordering through this program will be suspended, because 'Congress hasn't provided additional funding to replenish the nation's stockpile of tests.'
More and more Black people have reported prolonged COVID-19 symptoms, together with difficulty getting treatment, reported NBC News recently.
Like most of the pandemic's fallout, Black people are bearing the brunt of long COVID, making up a majority of long COVID hospitalizations, and researchers even projecting that Black people's life expectancy will drop significa
