Pretty much a lost day. So we are probably going to drop it to once every 4 weeks. More than enough to get the "we are still a team" spirit, but less hit to productivity.
I used to be one of those "you need to be in the office to get an efficient team where people know what is going on" types. But I have now learned my lesson. Pair programming and most other forms of collaboration are so much more efficient online, even though I could easily give some hints to Microsoft if they want to know how to improve both Teams and Visual Studio live share. 
So the 3 years in the past me would not hire the current me.

Working on industrial and automotive means having several thousand square meters of various equipment, for several millions. Managing thousands of products with a small engineering team makes context switching quite normal in the span of a week, so presence is definitely a better option.
I can take smart if I need it, when I got the coof I could work from home isntead of taking sick days - I have unlimited sick days but I'd risk the monthly bonus if I take too many.

... I'd be looking for a significant pay rise if I had to commute again!

I like working in an office.
I actually rented an office, a.k.a. pay good money every month, so I can sit in an office.
It looks professional towards customers, I'm among people, which actually gained me a good customer, and I can concentrate better when there's no TV and PlayStation around.
If I were still an employee, I'd want to be able to work from home.
I probably still wouldn't (unless the office was far away), but it says something about an employer if they let you work from home.
I even read about a recruiter recently who just watched companies who announced people had to come back to the office and then simply called their employees.
More than half of the employees were happy to switch jobs.
Basically, if my employer doesn't go the extra mile for me, I won't go the extra mile for them.
It's a two-way street and "just" salary doesn't cut it anymore (unless it's really good).
That's also how I want to lead my company when I get employees (which isn't easy in the current market).
Work from home is a no-brainer, as are 25 paid vacation days (20 is the legal minimum), a car, phone and laptop (these are a bare minimum nowadays).
Anything else can be discussed, such as study, working part time, flexible working hours, etc.
A happy employee is a good employee (usually) and they're every companies greatest "asset" and for some reason many companies forget this.

because that is the case in my company. The default is 3 days in office and 2 days in home office per week. Special arrangement are possible in emergency cases.

So you get the worst of both worlds?

Yes! I don't know about the Western Colonies, but here in mainland Europe half-weeks in the office are pretty much standard.

Have been since mid-March. Only expected to go in once a week, but I go in every day because I can concentrate there.
Having to work from home was problematic.
