Convergent with XDV.1.5 it seems XDV likes very much mutations at K478 >T,Q,I

[FedeGueli]

Looking at samples collected in Hubei after August 15 it is around 8% growing from 1% in the first 15 days of August. Covspectrum scores it as the highest for growth advantage right now, we must wait for spread outside HUbei to draw any conclusions but still something to watch closely.
