"Welcome to Covid-19," the tour guide announced cheerfully, "known for its Sandy beaches, lush jungles, and snow capped mountains."
"Before the purge, the natives referred to it as Earth, and left behind an extensive network of amazing ruins well worth taking excursions to."

Being buried alive was so common in the Victorian era they tied one end of a string to the corpse and the other to a bell, so the "corpse" could ring it if they woke up, hence the saying "saved by the bell".
