If \((X,\cal T) \) is a first countable topological space and \((\cal B(x))_{x\in X}\) is a family such that for all \(x \in X\), \(\cal B(x)\) is a local base at \(x\), then there is a family \(( \cal V(x))_{x\in X}\) such that for every \(x \in X\), \(\cal V(x)\) is a countable local base at \(x\) and \(\cal V(x) \subseteq \cal B(x)\).

\(MC_\omega(\infty,\infty)\) (\(\omega\)-MC): For every family \(X\) of pairwise disjoint non-empty sets, there is a function \(f\) such that for each \(x\in X\), f(x) is a non-empty countable subset of \(x\).
