## Missingness

Describe *all* situations under which a value may not be reported, and what that
means. If the signal ever reports NA, describe what that means and how it is
different from missingness. For example:

When fewer than 100 survey responses are received in a geographic area on a
specific day, no data is reported for that area on that day; an API query for
all reported geographic areas on that day will not include it.

## Lag and Backfill

If this signal is reported with a consistent lag, describe it here.
