I might be missing something, but where in this link do you see the dominance?
If it is the large proportion of sequencing showing B.1.1.7 (18/33 for Italy and 4⁄13 for Israel), isn’t that due to increased surveillance, like testing positive people coming from the UK?
Caveat: Most locations outside the original focus have not reported sustained transmission and many cases have known travel links to the focal location. Increasing numbers of international cases is currently likely due to increased surveillance and vigilance.
You may well be right. I guess we don’t really know what the sampling bias is (it would have to be pretty strongly skewed towards incoming UK cases though to get to a majority, since the UK itself was near 50%).
