To quote the creator "it's not important to the story".

The zombie apocalypse is the setting, the playground for the stories.

In fact, how many times has the "omg virus we need to find a cure" been done? Cliche is an understatement.

Cliche or not it's a Zombie story so it has to follow certain things just like any other story has to, in fact the only people that would accept Lori as being in any shape or form as being relevant to the show are more than likely not normally fans of the genre.

And as I've said the creator has basically used the Zombies as a gimmick to try and get people to tune into the show, because let's face it what is the point of the Zombies in the show then if the most important stuff in the show is relationships and friendships? If the writer wanted to make that type of show then don't put Zombies in the programme, otherwise characters like Lori are a waste of time as they don't fit into the certain tropes that comes with the genre and is a necessity for the genre to follow.

Basically if it's a Zombie show then the dynamics take a back burner to trying to find out what caused the outbreak, and if it's a Drama/Soap Opera then the writer should've made an entirely different show instead of pretending that it was a Zombie show.
