Joint Pain is a symptom exclusive to the Simian Flu plague. It causes pain in the joints, reducing human movement. This causes a slight decrease in infection.

Unlike other symptoms of this plague, this trait fulfills the function of increasing the severity of the disease in addition to making it more difficult to cure,[1] but in return this will reduce infectivity. In general, this should be used when Simian Flu has infected a large part of the population and it is time to stop all research to avoid the rapid development of the cure.
