E484K mutation is potentially associated with SARS-CoV-2 adaptive fitness
"the scientists suggest that E484K mutation is associated with increased viral fitness under natural selection pressure"
Overall, the study indicates that the E484K mutation acts as a critical evolutionary event for different viral lineages in terms of increasing viral fitness. The E484K mutation could potentially increase the infectivity and immune evasion potency of SARS-CoV-2.

Basically we are probably going to have this strain, or worse, around for some time as the poorer countries can be a breeding ground for mutations. At minimum we may have to get used to closed borders for some time.

E484K mutation is potentially associated with SARS-CoV-2 adaptive fitness
A team of Brazilian scientists has recently conducted genomic and phylogenetic analyses of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genome to understand the viral evolution process better. Their analyses reveal that the E484K mutated variant of SARS-CoV-2 is present in...
