NB.1 + S:Q493E (14 samples 5 places) with a S:A435S branch (4, UK,HK, Liaoning,Thailand), and a separate singlet with S:F490S from Gansu

[FedeGueli]

First proposed in sars-cov-2-variants/lineage-proposals#2431

NB.1 got S:Q493E and this is relevant, but it is even more relevant because it got further S:A435S in a 4 sequences branch from 4 different places.
To be noticed that a singlet from Gansu has instead S:F490S

Ping @corneliusroemer it seems expanding fast .

XDV* lineages has become the dominant variants in China since more than half years ago. NB.1* has got S:T22N, now the convergent to Q493E, A435S is very interesting and worth tracking.

It should be concerned.
