Well, I didn't cover everything that's been handed down. No more than three people can be in close proximity at any time. Scrums and meetings are now all via dial-in from our desks.
The main problem for my company is that we handle a lot of mail for some very big insurance companies, both inbound and outbound. We have an entire group who are all about that mail and have to be in the office because the mail processing and document-scanning equipment is here. (And there are contractual obligations regarding turnaround time that make trying to have even part of that group working from home impractical/impossible.) Meanwhile the development group directly supports them. While the dev group could theoretically work at home in our entirety, we've got to have someone on site to handle problems that crop up, whether they're bugs that need smashing, or unexplained behavior in the mail queue, or documents not getting imported and processed properly.
