does anyone here know if you have to keep eggs in the fridge...?

On a lighter note ............. not in Jamaica or other areas that do not wash eggs before selling them. The trade-off for beautifully spotless and bacteria-free eggs is that washing also removes a thin, filmy, protective outer layer called the cuticle. This cuticle is the magical natural shield that keeps bacteria out of an egg while letting oxygen circulate. Without a cuticle, eggs need to be kept cold—not for the product itself, but to discourage bacterial growth in and on it.

I am new to this board so the last thing I want to do is offend anybody. I have been a nurse for 30 years. I also just booked my next trip to Negril. Only my opinion, but for now (things could change) it is not an apocalypse. Frequent good ol’ hand washing is key. Fly? Sanitizer wipes. Should do that anyway. Rush to a crowded store to stock up on water, sanitizing wipes, canned goods, etc. ? No. Far from that and so is Jamaica. Most that have succumbed to this virus are the same unfortunate peeps that are already immunocompromised or have chronic health issues already. No need to panic. Life is short.

Right good post, Nurse Jen. This is what I'm doing. Even better than hand washing because it's a public service too.



Stay safe everyone. Peace and love, Richard

Please don't go.

I am in the United States now.

I had moved to Jamaica. I came back to US for visit. Planned to return to Jamaica but have decided not to. Why? See preceding posts.

Living in Jamaica full time takes commitment. During the years I lived "six months there and six months here", I realized I wasn't ready to commit. You can always find a good reason not to do something and that is why I never bought a house there.

From reading your previous posts, I take it that you feel everything will be stabilized in a year or so and then you will want to return. Seems a shame that you had not waited until then to buy your house and finally commit.

I'm confused...I know Rtitle said he bought a house here in Jamaica...but I didn't think he'd moved here full time...there IS quite a bit of difference in visiting long term to actually living somewhere full time!!

Rtitle...it seems I missed you saying you'd moved here full time.
Sorry you've decided not to return. It really does take a commitment as Accompong has pointed out...it's not always easy and it's just not for everyone.

I think he said he "moved to Jamaica" and was only home visiting and wanted to wait until it was safer from the virus to return. If I am incorrect about that, then I will stand corrected.

I continue to say to people that I live between here and Jamaica even though I am now only spending about two months a year there. I am anticipating that to change soon and plan to increase it up to 5 - 6 months but bi-yearly doctor's appointments would not permit me to commit full time to Jamaica and I am good with that. To me, there is such a thing as "too much of a good thing". My biggest problem is that the "good thing" is both here and in Jamaica. I guess I like living here in So. Florida too much to leave it.

Respect.

Here's what I found on the internet:

Fresh duck eggs keep for about 2 weeks if kept cool and for about 6 weeks once refrigerated. Fertile hatching eggs are fine for about 10 days and of course should be placed in an incubator as soon as possible once received.

Quail eggs should be stored in the carton and kept refrigerated at all times, below 40 F.
