KP.2.3(no 31del)+S:T572I(96 seqs, 5 countries)

[xz-keg]

Most KP.2.3 has S:31del, however the 31del is after the KP.2.3 defining mutations of S:H146Q, Orf3a:K67N
I find a KP.2.3 sub-branch with S:T572I that emerges from a KP.2.3 branch before the S:31del.

Usher cannot handle deletions so put this branch together with other KP.2.3+S:T572I branches with S:S31del.

I was thinking it could have been recombination with a KP.3.3.1 Canadian branch but being there G15543T it would mean multiple breakpoints so it is likely just homoplasy
