The paragraphs are all read separately for me using JAWS 2019 and NVDA 2019.3.1 with Chrome 87 and Firefox 65 and 82.

I would look at all the styles that are being applied to the <p class="visitor-message"> elements. In a situation like this, I typically turn off all the CSS rules and see if the problem goes away. If it does, I reintroduce the rules until I find the one(s) that cause the problem. It doesn't matter if the visual appearance of the content goes completely wrong while you are doing this.

For instance, the style "display:inline" would cause this problem. It won't be the cause in this case because all the text would appear on one line, which I assume it doesn't. However, other styles might cause the same behaviour.
