LU.2 sub-branch with S:L176F (23, Ecuador,Us) with two sublineages one with S:F186S (11) and the other with S:S60P and S:K182N(now LU.2.1.1)

LU.2 reached a sky-high prevalence in Ecuador in late June around 25%.
Looking at its tree i noticed a S:F176F branch that got then splitted in two interesting subbranches: one defined by S:F186S and the other , smaller, with S:S60P and S:K182N.

For now i will propose the broader branch tracking the S:F186S one with an eye on the other branch.

Ah I forgot to propose it! the branch with S:S680Y also should be noticed.

+1 Denmark in the 60P Branch

[FedeGueli]

the 60P branch jumped to 10 today with two countries Scotland adn Spain

23 now all new ones belonging to the 60P 182N sublineage

I ve noticed only now that LU.2.1.1 has also T28474C that corresponds to Orf9b:L64P cc @xz-keg
