But he was alone and early to get to Wuhanit was in Wuhan, and he was alone and arrived early from another province. But it was in Wuhan, and he was alone and arrived early from another province.

"Early to get to Wuhan" doesn't make sense here, since you haven't introduced the role of Wuhan yet in the writing. It seems like something is missing

But because he was alone and, he left early to get to Wuhan from another province. But because he was alone, he left early to get to Wuhan from another province.

The sentence I corrected has a slightly different meaning, sorry! I wasn't 100% I understood.

He tells us how his quarantine goes on from time to time and h. He is good and healthy. He tells us how his quarantine goes from time to time. He is good and healthy.

"And" must connect related phrases. You could also write "and says that" or something similar, but if not, this sounds disjointed. "Goes on" is related to continuity (e.g. "the adventure goes on"). To say how something is, just use "go."

He tells us how his quarantine goes onis going from time to time and h. He is good and healthy. He tells us how his quarantine is going from time to time. He is good and healthy.

Somehow one day, just as officials declared that Wuhan would be no longer be under lockdown in two weeks, which meant that my cousin would no longer be under quarantine and he would be able to go back home, my aunt was in an argument with my father.

"Two weeks later" sounds like you are referring to when the official made the announcement in reference to the rest of the story, not when lockdown will be lifted.

My father suggested my cousin remain in Wuhan: since Wuhan has all the attention from all over China due to COVID 19, there will be great development potential with favorable policies.

You've introduced a subordinate clause with "since" that does not fit anywhere and creates a run-on. You need to either separate the sentences or reword it, like "My father suggested my cousin remain in Wuhan because there will be great development potential … since Wuhan has all the attention."

My father suggested that my cousin remain in Wuhan since Wuhan has all the attention from all over China due to COVID 19, there will be great development potential with favorable policies.

But how could she ever think about it?


But how could she ever think about ithat? But how could she ever think that?

"Think about something" means that you're thinking about a particular subject. To say that you're thinking a particular idea, "think that" ("that" being a pronoun referring to the idea) or "think that…" (to introduce the idea itself) should be used.

ButI don't understand how she could she evern think about it?that. I don't understand how she could even think that.

My correction means the same thing but sounds a little more natural. :) You cold also say "How could she even think that?" if you're talking about your thoughts.

People and individual things are "born," not families.
