Can We Just Restart 2020?
The year, 2020, has been quite unfortunate for many of us so far. For those of us in China, as you know, we live each day with apprehension, as the virus is spreading around the country, edging its way out from Wuhan. With great understatement, the virus has not only been ruining the start of a beautiful New Year, worldwide, in general, but also ruining the celebrations for the Chinese New Year, in Asia, in particular. Another unfortunate thing has been the tragic, and completely unexpected, death of Kobe Bryant, the retired Laker legend and NBA superstar. It is extremely hard, as a devoted fan of his, to accept this simple, yet, undeniable fact. Somehow, during times like these, a large part of me hopes to wake up, and to realize that these events only came from an incredibly bad nightmare, but the unfortunate truth is that they are not, and I cannot change anything. Alas, it has only been twenty-nine days; if not just for these two events, and if we all agree, can we somehow magically turn the clock back, and just restart 2020?*/**
Hi, Lurraine. Good job! Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to inject both a bit of pathos and humor, to clarify your thoughts, and for ease of reading. My sincerest apologies if I have misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you, Jonathan.
*Count me in, if that is all it takes! Best wishes for the safety of you and your family, as well as everyone there in harm's way.
**Although "Lurraine" is a name, it is both unusual and rare. If you chose it precisely for that reason, then fine. However, I was left wondering if you meant, "Lorraine," instead, which is way more common name... (and which is the question you will be asked a great deal by native English speakers...)

Unfortunately we can't turn back the clock but hopefully the virus will soon be under control.
