Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space. Suppose that $(X,d)$ has the property that every family of non-empty, pairwise disjoint open sets in $X$ is countable. Is $X$ second countable then?

    In the metrizable space $X$, the following conditions are equivalent, cf. General Topology by Engelking Page 255: > $X$ is seperable > $X$ is second countable > $X$ is lindelof > $X$ has countable extent > $X$ is star countable > $X$ is CCC2013-05-20
