I have been working to re-create the Gov UK coronavirus dashboard connecting to the python SDK. One thing I struggled with was the interactive map, and I think this is an area that others can also find tricky.
Been working hard to make a tutorial on how to do this, please give it a watch if you are interested (maybe 1.5x speed 
) and any feedbacl.
Thanks so much, hope this may be helpful to anyone struggling with choropleth maps.
