COVID-19 UK Data Graphing
tags: python projects
Grabs latest figures from the Public Health England API and uses Dash, Plotly, and Pandas to manipulate and show the data graphically.
Written in Python.
A month ago I was perusing Public Health England’s coronavirus dashboard, and found that to get to any sort of map of cases you had to navigate off-site. I decided I would try making my own interactive dashboard from scratch, pulling data from PHE and generating graphs and a map myself using Python - a language I had little knowledge of.
With a bit of tinkering, I produced a few graphs displaying daily cases and deaths. Since then I’ve added 7 day averages, daily tests taken, and a scatter map of total cases per 100k by local authority.
I am also now hosting this app using Heroku.
There are more features I wish to add to make the tool more useful, as well as optimising and generally improving my code, but for now here is how it’s looking.
