import pandas as pd

import plotly.express as px

variants=pd.read_csv(‘https://github.com/owid/covid-19-data/blob/master/public/data/variants/covid-variants.csv?raw=true’,parse_dates = [‘date’])

variants[variants[‘location’]==”Hungary”].tail(50)

omi = variants[variants[‘variant’]==’Omicron’]

mix = variants.groupby([‘date’,’variant’])[‘perc_sequences’].mean().reset_index()

varp=  variants.groupby([‘location’,’variant’])[[‘date’, ‘perc_sequences’]].last().reset_index()

varp= varp.query(‘perc_sequences > 0’) #greater than size

varp[‘date’] = varp[‘date’].dt.strftime(‘%m/%d/%Y’)

fig = px.bar( varp, x= ‘location’, y=’perc_sequences’, color=’variant’, hover_data= [‘variant’,’date’], height=900)

fig.update_layout(legend_traceorder=”normal”,template=’plotly_dark’,legend=dict(
