@Andrew Rambaut - reading the most recent PHE report on VOCs/VOIs (so good!), is it fair to say that non-B.1.1.7 VOCs just aren't that successful in the UK compared to B.1.1.7? Enough data to make that conclusion? Separately, is it fair to say that B.1.1.7 lineages with mutations such as E484K don't appear to be any more successful than 'vanilla' B.1.1.7?

In context

Thanks Bob! There's another close bat CoV on GISAID - PrC31 I think. Also from Yunnan. This is from the China CDC. Paper being written up apparently.
