Do you separate people who are sick with swine flu or put them together?

Separate them. The lab tests to determine the type of flu someone has are not specific enough to know if they actually do have the same exact flu or just another flu virus of the same flu Type. The field tests only determine the Type of flu, such as a Type A, B, or C influenza.
Unless the specimen is sent off to the CDC to test for the specifics, the local lab will not be able to let the doctors know if you and the others with flu symptoms are infected with the same virus. If you are not, then you both can give each other a second infection. The different flu viruses usually don't infect a person at the same time, but exposure at the end of one infection can allow a person to begin incubating the new virus before fully recovering from the first.
