If I can translate that, they don't think that D614G is more transmissible than other mutations (but also can't prove the negative).

A more recent paper concludes "data show that the D614G substitution enhances SARS-CoV-2 infectivity, competitive fitness, and transmission in primary human cells and animal models."

Here's a tweet thread from a molecular biologist on the set of mutations in the UK variant.
