Oct 1, 2015 at 9:55 comment added Jason Starr You are right. Countably infinite spaces do not work.
Oct 1, 2015 at 9:45 comment added Jeremy Rickard @JasonStarr For a discrete countably infinite set you could take a subcover consisting of a nested sequence $U_0\subset U_1\subset\dots$ of finite sets.
Oct 1, 2015 at 9:38 comment added Jason Starr @JeremyRickard: Actually, I think your example works for countably infinite spaces as well.
Oct 1, 2015 at 9:16 comment added Jeremy Rickard How about an uncountable discrete space, with the open cover consisting of all finite subsets?
