Noted - thanks for the info.

I did some reading — there are 17 unique mutations in the P1 variant.

(Anyone with solidly sourced info.): What is the thinking now about the stability of the COVID-19 virus vs. typical flus? My guess would be that COVID-19 is “more stable”, but not by a lot.

I saw an article in Nature, from 8 Sep 2020 that said that COVID-19 changed about 1/2 as fast as influenza, and 1/4 the speed of HIV - about two single letter mutations per month.
