Is this "new" strain related to the Spanish "new" strain that was brought back to the UK by the holiday crowd in late Sept / Oct?

Well those that wanted a hard brexit are getting their wish.
after being here a week I am not at all surprised the way it has spread. Such a relaxed approach to mask wearing and many walking around with an ‘I am exempt from mask’ badges. It’s fucked over here.
Arrivals from the UK are banned from the US anyway, unless they are citizens or PR.
