Chile publishes probable deaths data but it's not included in CSSE data set

[sacundim]

Looking at the current version of the March 23 data file, the deaths for Chile's regions add up 22,384. But Chile has a subtle (and politically contentious, fair warning) issue that the government keeps two death counts. This site that the government dubs "official COVID-19 figures" currently says 22,402 deaths as of March 24:

...as does this page at the Ministry of Health website, which adds the note (that I've highlighted) that it "corresponds to cases classified with cause of death U07.1 (case confirmed with positive test result), according to statistics from the DEIS [the Ministry of Health's own Department of Health Statistics and Information]":

But in the COVID-19 epidemiological reports that the Ministry of Health publishes in this page, for example the 105th report (March 22), they list 29,813 deaths as of March 21:

...and the footnote says: "Total cases deceased due to Covid-19 according to region of residence with and without laboratory confirmation, according to information given by DEIS-MINSAL with a closing date of March 21, 2021." The footnote further refers to product 61 in a GitHub repo by Chile's Ministry of Science, which is a time series from (2020-09-07 to 2021-03-21) of COVID-19 deaths in Chile by commune and WHO cause of death codes U07.1 (lab-confirmed COVID-19) and U07.2 (clinically diagnosed COVID-19).

The field descriptions for your csse_covid_19_daily_reports dataset say the following:

• Deaths: Counts include confirmed and probable (where reported).

But that evidently isn't the case for Chile, where probable deaths are regularly reported but the CSSE data set does not include them. And it's a pretty large discrepancy—that 22,402 confirmed deaths figure is about 25% lower than the 29,813 confirmed and probable deaths.
