For every discrete family $(F_i)_{i \in I}$ of closed subsets of $X$, there exists a pairwise disjoint family of open sets $(U_i)_{i \in I}$, such that $F_i \subseteq U_i$ for all $i$.
Here, a *discrete family* is a family of subsets such that each point of $X$ has a neighborhood meeting at most one of the subsets.
For every discrete family $(F_i)_{i \in I}$ of closed subsets of $X$, there exists a pairwise disjoint family of open sets $(U_i)_{i \in I}$ with $F_i \subseteq U_i$ for all $i$.

Equivalently, for every discrete family $(F_i)_{i \in I}$ of closed subsets of $X$, there exists a discrete family of open sets $(U_i)_{i \in I}$, such that $F_i \subseteq U_i$ for all $i$.
Equivalently, for every discrete family $(F_i)_{i \in I}$ of closed subsets of $X$, there exists a discrete family of open sets $(U_i)_{i \in I}$ with $F_i \subseteq U_i$ for all $i$.

Terminology:
- A *discrete family* is a family of subsets such that each point of $X$ has a neighborhood meeting at most one of the subsets.
- In the first definition, the family of open sets $(U_i)_i$ is sometimes called a *disjoint open expansion* of the family $(F_i)_i$.
- In the second definition, the family of open sets $(U_i)_i$ is sometimes called a *discrete open expansion* of the family $(F_i)_i$. (See for example {{doi:10.1016/S0166-8641(96)00163-0}}.)

The equivalence between the two definitions is Theorem 5.1.17 of {{zb:0684.54001}}.

Given a discrete family $(F_i)_{i \in I}$ of nonempty closed sets in $X$,
take a point $x_i\in F_i$ for each $i$.
The subspace $\{x_i:i\in I\}$ is discrete,
hence countable because $X$ is {P197}.

So there are only countably many $F_i$,
and one can find a disjoint open expansion of $(F_i)_i$ by Theorem 2.1.14 of {{zb:0684.54001}}.

Given a discrete family $(F_i)_{i \in I}$ of nonempty closed sets in $X$,
take a point $x_i\in F_i$ for each $i$.
Every singleton $\{x_i\}$ is closed and the subspace $Y=\{x_i:i\in I\}$ is discrete.
Therefore $Y$ is closed and discrete,
and hence countable because $X$ is {P198}.

So there are only countably many $F_i$,
and one can find a disjoint open expansion of $(F_i)_i$ by Theorem 2.1.14 of {{zb:0684.54001}}.
