A.30 is basically dead, well outcompeted by Delta etc. The UK don't report on it now.

"VUI-21FEB-01 (A.23.1 with E484K), VOC-21FEB-02 (B.1.1.7 with E484K), VUI-21MAR-01, (B.1.324.1 with E484K), A.30, B.1.633, B.1.214.2 and B.1.1.7 with S494P have not been observed in the UK or within the international GISAID dataset within the last 12 weeks. These variants are no longer included in the data update."

Ask HN: What are decentralized Twitter alternatives?

Once upon a time Jack said that Twitter initially was very open in its early stages but eventually became much more centralized, and the scale of supporting such a centralized network in the future could be unsustainable. “Blockchain points to a series of decentralized solutions for open and durable hosting, governance, and even monetization,” he added. “Much work to be done, but the...
