el peligro vive

Spanish to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
For a Venezuelan document (danger lives doesn't really seem quite right, perhaps thrives?) Thanks

“Bueno; pero, ¿yo no le hice el pronóstico?”
“Sí, sí lo hizo” - decía Salvador.
“Y, Marina, ¿hice yo el pronóstico?”
“Bueno, algo dijiste.
¡Qué sé yo!”
“No, sí, sí, (person's name), él dijo que esta vaina iba para peor.
Siempre ha dicho que el peligro vive.”
“Bueno, (person's name), ¿y ahora ocurrió o no ocurrió lo que yo dije?
Ahora sí que está el chavismo que ustedes detestan.”
“Estoy demandando a Chávez,” decía Salvador.

danger is alive

Suggestion.
Example sentence:

Four-months after a woman had part of her ear torn off by a dog, she believes the danger is alive and well.

I think this danger is alive and deadly today in America. We have an abundance and it is all too easy for us to go about our daily lives

unless this is supposed to be a metaphor, then references in a dialogue such as this to a threat/danger being alive or living sound rather unnatural and over-dramatic to my English ears.
