Description:
I found this potential XBB.1*+F486P sublineage together with #1704 and #1712, but its growth rate was relatively low until recently. Since 13/47 of samples have been updated in last three days, I decide to propose the issue to discuss.

I wonder whether the XBB.1*+F486P+X (including XBB.1.9*+F486P+X) branches could be discussed as #1510.

Hi @HynnSpylor this has been already proposed in #1680

[HynnSpylor]

@FedeGueli Ah it’s my fault. Very sorry for it and I'll close it immediately.
(Thx for your advice these days!)

[FedeGueli]

Maybe you can reopen it when it will be deisgnated and propose it as sublineage. Just better waiting to understand when it will start

It's XBB.1.19.1 now
