ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - The government of the Virgin Islands expressed deep shock at the sudden passing of Director of Communications Mrs Karia J. Christopher on Friday, December 5, 2025.

      It's surprising how many idiots can type. People were dying of natural causes before the vaccine and people will continue to die of natural causes. It's the circle of life. BTW Idiots like you will also die.

        A lot of these deaths that you mentioned as the above causes as……… is human sacrifices. Yes, everyone has to die and will die one day but a lot of deaths is due to human sacrifices so others can better themselves. Yes, people here is filled with envy, jealousy and vengeance. Just be careful. You can see a person’s face but you cannot see a person’s true heart.
