alive and well
In good health
Alive and well confirms that someone or something continues to exist and thrive, often countering assumptions otherwise: Reports of the album's death were premature—vinyl is alive and well.
The phrase emphasizes not just survival but good condition.
Sometimes used ironically when something unwelcome persists: Sexism is alive and well in Hollywood.
