What kind of press briefing is that?

The U.S. Consulate in Costa Rica is ignoring calls from citizens there on vacation and from news outlets

Not just high alert in other countries, but here in the US as well. They have been patrolling the California coast near the munitions with helicopters. It's very unusual to have military helicopters fly over let alone running a constant patern along the coast. Our government wouldn't tell us anyway. Especially this administration.

I've watched F-16's fly over my house all weekend where I've never seen them the whole time I've lived in my house and i don't live by a military base. Could've been an airshow but i looked them up in my area and didn't find any recently.
