There is a website where you can find the data for the US and Illinois (or your state) at http://covid19.healthdata.org. You can use the drop down in the upper, center of the page to see info for your state. It shows info on the projected hospital resource use, deaths/day and total deaths. Keep isolated, and wash frequently! Source: Apparently Rachel Maddow spoke on her show with Dr. Christopher Murray, a researcher in global health and public health at the University of Washington in Seattle and the institute director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. He and his team are modeling the predictions for the USA seen on this website.

NIOSH National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

Heat stroke occurs when the body becomes unable to control its temperature. The body's temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down. When heat stroke occurs, the body temperature can rise to 106°F or higher within 10 to 15 minutes. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not given.
